FPC Library Open on Christmas Eve Morning!

Posted on Dec 22, 2017 by Katherine West in Library, News |

Dec '17

The FPC Library will be open for the Sunday morning service on December 24th (Christmas Eve). Because it is Christmas Eve the library will be open before the service, but not after the service.

The Christmas books will all be displayed and you can pick some out to read with your family on Christmas. You can find all our Christmas books listed in our online catalog here. This will be the last time to check out our Christmas books before Christmas so make sure to stop by and get some. We have a large selection of books for both adults and children.

Also, don’t forget to stop by and pick up Daily Bible Reading Schedules for 2018. These schedules lay out daily Bible readings and are a great way to get in the habit of reading the Bible daily. There are schedules for reading the whole Bible in 1 year, 2 years, or 3 years.

As always, please send us an email here if you have any questions.

Have a very merry Christmas!

Christmas Eve Candlelight Service 2017

Posted on Dec 19, 2017 by admin in Children's Ministry, Music, News |

Dec '17

You won’t want to miss our wonderful Christmas Eve Candlelight Service at First Presbyterian Church of Tacoma. Our cathedral-like sanctuary will be filled with hundreds of candles as well as the sound of music from our Chancel Choir, soloists, Lindsey Bell Choir, chamber orchestra, and a pipe organ with more than 3,000 pipes. As in past years, we will be having a “lessons and carols” service that tells the Christmas story through readings and carols plus a special message by our Senior Pastor Dr. Eric Jacobsen. This year FPC’s children will be presenting some of the readings. The service climaxes as we join millions of Christians around the world on Christmas Eve by singing “Silent Night.” Then during the postlude those who wish can sing Handel’s “Hallelujah Chorus.” For many of us, this service is the highlight of the year along with Easter. Join us and invite your friends and family. The service begins at 7:00 pm on Sunday, December 24. You may want to come early because this service is usually packed.
