Thanksgiving Eve Worship with FPC: Wednesday, Nov 27, 5:30pm, Sanctuary
Wednesday, November 27th we will gather in the Sanctuary at 5:30pm for a time of worship. All are welcome, and we've crafted the service especially with children in mind; their participation and ability to enter in is important to us.
We also invite you to bring items for our Warming Tree (gloves, mittens, hats, scarves, socks) as an offering. Please join us as we name our thanksgivings and praise to a God who gives abundantly.

For Such a Time as This...
This lonely, broken, beautiful world is the context in which First Presbyterian Church has been called to love God and our neighbors.
By worshiping together, by deepening roots in Christ and his Word, by building relationships that matter for faith, and by seeking extravagant ways to serve our community, we long to discover meaningful spiritual life, to taste authentic community, and to bear witness to a hope greater than ourselves. Call it life in Christ, life together, and life for others.
What if it's for such a time as this that we, all of us, have been invited to trust in Jesus together and to surprise Missoula with Christ's astonishing love?
Weekly Worship with FPC
You are welcome to join us for worship! We gather Sunday mornings at 9:30am in the Church Sanctuary and celebrate the Lord's Supper the first Sunday of each month. Our blended service is led by a variety of voices and instruments - from piano to guitar, violin to cello, and handbells to drums. Know that we especially celebrate the sounds of little children in worship!
This Sunday
Worship with FPC | December 1st, 2024 | Daniel 6.6-27
O Come O Come Emmanuel, and ransom captive Israel, who mourns in lonely exile here, until the Son of God appear…
The Daniel of our Scriptures was forcibly removed from Jerusalem. Exiled to Babylon. Imprisoned by a foreign land, language, culture and king. And if he should refuse to worship the king alone? Lions.
But exiled from home, Daniel waited for God.
Mourning grave loss, Daniel held onto hope.
Threatened by death, Daniel looked for the Lord to come close and save.
‘Advent’ means ‘coming.’ And so, even as the people of Israel awaited their Messiah, we who trust Jesus wait with expectation in this season of Advent for Christ to come close to our homesickness, our mourning, our lions’ dens of vulnerability and threat. With Daniel we hold onto hope of rescue, believing that
Even youths will faint and be weary,
and the young will fall exhausted,
but those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings like eagles;
they shall run and not be weary;
they shall walk and not faint. -Isaiah 40.30-31
Prayer: O Come O Come Emmanuel, and ransom captive Israel, who mourns in lonely exile here, until the Son of God appear…Come, Lord Jesus….
