First Presbyterian Church

Welcome to Kathie's Korner

Kathleen S. Luke, Pastor

Spring is here!  As the days get warmer and the weather gets nicer the temptation to stay home from church on Sunday mornings grows stronger.  Why should we resist this temptation?  Can’t we worship God where we are?  The answer to this is yes…and no. 

If worshiping God means giving praise and glory to God then we can and should do that wherever we are.  But the truth is, most of us don’t.  When we stay home from church we don’t worship God on the golf course…or while we’re mowing the yard…or during breakfast…or as we sleep in.  Being able to and actually doing so are not the same thing.

There is another reason to go to church.  Worship is more than giving praise and glory to God.  Worship is doing this in the gathered community.  Jesus said that where two or three are gathered he is with us.  We come together in the presence of the living Lord. Together we praise God.  Together we read and interpret scripture.  Together we pray and cry and rejoice.  Together we form the church, the body of Christ, gathered for worship and service.

As the days get longer and the weather gets warmer, plan on joining us for worship on Sunday mornings.

Shalom,

Rev. Kathie
