Summer worship

As in years past, First Presbyterian will switch to its summer worship schedule on May 25th. The 8:30 and 11:00 services will be combined into one 9:30 service, with communion celebrated on June 8th (Pentecost), July 6th, and August 3rd. Regular worship hours will resume on September 7th.

The Chancel Choir and Liberty Bell Choir are taking a well-deserved summer hiatus. Music at the 9:30 services will be provided by vocal or instrumental soloists. Kevin Dill would be delighted to hear from anyone interested in offering their musical talents over the summer. He can be contacted at kevindill@meadvillefpc.org or via the church office at 333-2161.
