CHURCH NEWS FOR THE BIG SPRING HERALD
FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, BIG SPRING
FOR JULY 26, 2020
An exciting new development took place at this week’s Wednesday Bible study. Rev. Allen Cross and a few members met this week in Fellowship Hall at 6:00 p.m. to study the lectionary for Sunday, but some other members joined in the meeting via Zoom online. Everyone participated in the Bible reading and discussion. The link to join in the Zoom group will be posted on the church website, Faith Notes, and in the Sunday worship bulletin. The lectionary for the next week is printed on the back page of the church bulletin each Sunday.
The Thursday Lunch Bunch, which had formerly met at various local restaurants, met on July 23 in Fellowship Hall as a Brown Bag lunch. Getting a to-go lunch from one of the local restaurants has been suggested to help local businesses during the current economic distress.
The Session met in Fellowship Hall for the July Stated Session Meeting at 6 p.m. on Thursday, July 23.
