WELCOME TO FIRST PRES

April 6, 2014

Thank you for coming to First Presbyterian Church of Orlando this morning! So glad youre here. We worship together as a church family at four times on Sundays: Traditional worship in the Sanctuary at 8:30 and 11am, and Genesis worship in Lee Fellowship Hall at 9:45am and 11am. If youd like to connect and learn more about this church family, one of our hosts will be available at the front of the room after worship, or you can visit fpco.org/guest.

NEXT STEP
During Holy Week, we sometimes skip to the last chapter of the Easter story on Sunday, and miss the signicance of the events leading up to the cross. We invite you to hear the whole story in three parts: Part I on Maundy Thursday during an evening worship service at 6:30pm in our Sanctuary, focused on the Lords Supper. We continue where we left off the previous night with Part II on Good Friday at 6:30pm in our Sanctuary, departing in silence as Jesus is placed in the tomb. We conclude with Part III on Easter Sunday morning, celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ at 8:15am, 9:45am and 11:15am.

THIS WEEK
The last of our Lenten Organ Meditations will be from 12-12:30pm in the Sanctuary this Wednesday, April 9, as we reect on Jesus journey to the cross. Join us for special music and a contemplative time to pray.
