Coffee with the Pastors: April 23, 2023: Have you been visiting and want to know more? Maybe you’re curious about something we do in worship, want to know more about how to get involved or wonder what we believe. If so, this is your chance to find out while getting to know others! Join us for “Coffee with the Pastors” on Sunday, April 23, 2023, at 9:30a.m. in the Session Room (down the long hallway across from the Church Office.) Annie and Carrie will be there with coffee, ready to talk all things First Pres! Please let us know if you can come by emailing Annie (aepling@firstpresfortwayne.org) or Carrie (cwinebrenner@firstpresfortwayne.org) or by RSVP’ing in the office by April 20th.
THE ARTS
Music Series Concert: Elizabeth and Raymond Chenault, duo-organists will play a concert based entirely on repertoire for four hands and four feet on April 23rd at 4:00p.m. The Chenaults have concertized extensively throughout the United States and Europe and have arranged and premiered over seventy organ duets, thereby making a significant historical contribution to this slighted area of organ literature. Because of their unique and refreshing repertoire, combined with their exciting and sensitive artistry, the Chenaults are in demand as recitalists and have established themselves as America’s leading duo-organists. A screen will be set up at the front of the church so that you can watch the choreography that it takes to have two people sharing the same notes!
Gallery: Please feel free to explore the Gallery for the Parish Art Show following the service. Enjoy fellowship and share in the talent and creation of our fellow artisans and partake in their creativity and hard work!
“Godspell”: The final performance is at 2:00p.m. today! This is the first major musical theatre offering from three-time Grammy and Academy Award winner, Stephen Schwartz. It’s a great way to get into the Easter Spirit, as a group of people help Jesus tell parables and stories in various unique ways. Bring the family out for this G-rated show!
CHILDREN, YOUTH, AND FAMILIES
Annual Easter Egg Hunt – April 9th after the 11a.m. Service! Early Christians adopted the egg as a symbol of Jesus’ resurrection—new life breaking free from the grave…or a shell in this case. Join us on Easter Sunday, after the 11a.m. worship service, for an eggs-citing hunt for sweet and elusive Easter Eggs! We will all gather in McKay Hall, and then our hunt locations will be separated by age to ensure every child finds fun. If you’ll bring a basket, we’ll bring the eggs!
Nursery Available for Infants thru Pre-School: Jesus loves the little children, and we do, too! Should you decide that today would be a good time to explore the nursery, your child is always invited to drop in. Ask the office volunteer for a key fob and directions, and our skilled childcare employees will be excited to welcome your child while you worship.
