Calendar
A great group of guys who gather early in the morning before work to enjoy fellowship over a hot breakfast together, read some scripture and pray for the needs of those in our lives.
On the second Wednesday of every month, the Trustees meet in the Memorial Hall Board room at 7:30 p.m.
Caroler Choir Rehearsals Thursday Afternoons 3:30-4:15 in the Choir room on the lower level.
Caroler Choir is for children in grades 1-3. We learn to sing together and have fun while reinforcing team work, improving singing skills, develop poise, and training children as worship leaders. We sing in church once a month. Where can you get so much for so little– No tuition required!
Crusader Choir Rehearsals Thursday afternoons 4:30-5:15 in the Choir room
Crusader Choir is for children in grades 4-6. We build on the skills we have learned previously (although new comers are always welcome), adding more difficult and thought-provoking anthems. These children form the backbone of the cast for two cantatas a year, a highlight for us all.

The fair consists of only handcrafted goods, no direct sale merchandise and admission is free to the public. There will also be a bake sale sponsored by the Church and all the proceeds go to support the missions of the church. Yummy treats and beautiful goods await you…come join the fun! First Presbyterian Church Bates Hall is at the corner of Miln Street and Springfield Ave.
This program meets every Sunday, before service, from 8:30 a.m. until 9:30 a.m.
Under the capable leadership of Mark Oricchio, you will examine the historical origins of the Bible and trace them through modern day translations through a blend of professorial pedagogy and everyday observations. Often, humor is an integral part of the learning experience.
