Sunday mornings at First Presbyterian are busy in the best way.

You’ll see people heading to worship, children making their way to Godly Play, Sunday School classes gathering throughout the building, and plenty of conversation in the hallways in between. Come as you are; ask someone if you’re not sure where to go. After worship, follow everyone to Correll Commons, where there’s coffee, cookies, and usually a good reason not to head home quite yet.
