October 27th to December 21st we will be collecting coats for those in need. Start cleaning out those closets of coats you don't wear or have outgrown to keep someone warm in our community this winter season! Please hang your clean, gently used coats on the coat rack in Fellowship Hall.
Please join us on Saturday December 3rd and Sunday December 4th from 10am to 3pm for our 2nd First Presbyterian Church Mistletoe Lane Craft Fair. Come do your Christmas shopping in the heart of the village and enjoy some delicious treats as well! We are located in the heart of the village on the corner of 107 South/Main Street in Port Jefferson Village. Shop local and support your local community while walking around enjoying a wonderful holiday tradition! We will have Music both days of the festival (Listing to be posted soon) with special performance by the North Shore Chamber Choir performing "The Messiah" at 4pm on Saturday, December 3rd. People from far and near come here as it is magically transformed to the Dickensian era. Troupes of Dickens characters roam the streets with costumes, period dialect and magical music as well! We look forward to seeing everyone enjoy the Dickens Festival this year!
Change is a natural part of life that we must all embrace. However, what never changes is God’s steadfast love. His presence is always there to strengthen, guide and comfort us. With Pastor Richard retiring, we begin to say farewell to him, for the past fifteen years, he has played such an important role in our faith journey. Please join us at this special Worship Service.
Please join us on Saturday, December 24th at 7pm for our Annual Christmas Eve Candlelight Service. This night you will hear the story of shepherds and magi, of maiden and carpenter, of a stable and a star, of prophets and angels and we too join the Journey to Bethlehem for a blessing. May the hope that is born anew this night, in the Christ Child, be yours to receive and spread far and wide over the months of the year to come. We are thankful that you may choose to worship with us that evening. May the Christ child bless you with peace, hope and love.
With thanksgiving to God for blessing us with Pastor Richard these last 15 years of service here at First Presbyterian, we joyfully ask you to join us on Sunday, December 25th at the 10 am for Pastor Richards last Worship Service here at First Presbyterian Church of Port Jefferson.
