Christmas worship service at First Presbyterian Church in University CityChristmas Day Church Service

This year we’re taking a “come as you are” approach to Sunday church service on Christmas Day! Come in relaxed clothing (lounge clothes, pajamas, etc.) and enjoy carols, hot chocolate and a relaxed, simple service beginning at 10:30 a.m. on Sunday, Dec. 25.

Retreat Offers Nature, Fellowship, Contemplation

The First Presbyterian Church annual retreat took place in October at Mound Ridge Camp in Sullivan, Missouri. Nearly 25 church members attended, enjoying fellowship, fall colors, great food and hospitality and the chance to meditate and worship in a beautiful, relaxed setting.

Saturday’s activity gave adults the chance to meditate and create a sculpture piece from clay, while the children created a “God is Here” banner. A scavenger hunt, outdoor church service and an ongoing campfire rounded out the weekend.

Vacation Bible School to include “Milk and Honey Cooking School”

“Eating Your Way Through Biblical History” is the theme of the 2011 Vacation Bible School at First Presbyterian Church of St. Louis.

Over three nights in June, adults and children will experience an adventure in cooking, eating and learning. The Milk and Honey Cooking School does more than just entertain and teach a little biblical history; it also provides an in-depth look at the culture and rituals surrounding cooking and eating in biblical times. How much more fun history would be if you could eat your way through it? This is the inspiration behind the Milk and Honey Cooking School. This journey will take participants from the Old Testament days of Abraham, Jacob, and Joseph through the time of Christ, as we make the bread of Abraham and Sarah and taste Esau’s Pottage, maybe some Greek cheesecake and much more.

Vacation Bible School will take place Sunday through Tuesday, June 12-14 on the lawn at First Presbyterian Church, 7200 Delmar Blvd. in University City. Bring a picnic supper to enjoy from 6 to 6:45 p.m., then participate in cooking activities from 6:45 to 8 p.m.

All are welcome; attend any or all evenings.

For more information, call the church at (314) 726-6677.
