Welcome to First Presbyterian Church, Delavan, Illinois

At First Presbyterian Church we want to love and serve God. We believe that Jesus Christ shows us the way. Jesus Christ is "the way, the truth, and the life." Jesus reveals the depths of God's love for us. Jesus calls all people to follow him. We want to be disciples, followers, of Christ. Together, we grow as followers through Worship, Study, Fellowship, Mission, and Proclamation. The doors of First Presbyterian are open for you. We look forward to worshiping with you and discovering together the disciple God is calling you to become. Let's grow together in Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit, loving God more completely and serving God more joyfully.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

We are having a St. Valentine's Day party! This party is intended for all the children of the Delavan area ages 5 to 10. The party will be in our church basement on February 4th, from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. There will be games, Valentines making, cookie decorating, and snacks and punch. Parents are welcome to join the party, too, visit with friends, make some new friends, and help to make it a special day for the children.

Our Session has called a special meeting for the election of two elders (Class of 2015). This meeting will take place immediately after our worship service on February 5th. All members are asked to stay after for the brief meeting.

If you would like to receive our monthly print newsletter (no web version yet--sorry!), please call or e-mail us here at the church with your name and address, and we'll be happy to add you to our mailing list.
