First Presbyterian Church of LaGrange Texas

Sunday February 12, 2023 is our Second Sunday Lunch.  This Sunday we celebrate Souper Bowl Sunday.  Souper Bowl of Caring is an event which has been uniting communities to tackle hunger for over 30 years. It inspires care and compassion for neighbors in need. By working together to #TackleHunger, our Souper Bowl of Caring event can demonstrate how collective efforts make a significant impact for our neighbors in need. 

The youth of First Presbyterian Church meet on the first Thursday of each month to learn more about their faith.  They start with a light snack at 4:30 and will be learning about Epiphany.   Epiphany is a Christian holiday primarily commemorating the Magi’s visit to the baby Jesus and the baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist. Eastern traditions, which usually call the holiday Theophany, focus on Jesus’ baptism, seen as the manifestation of Christ as both fully human and fully divine. Western traditions focus on the Magi’s visit, seen as the first manifestation of Christ as saviour of Gentiles as well as Jews. Epiphany is among the church’s oldest and most important feasts.

The Women’s Bible Study will meet on January 5.  We are on the bi-monthly schedule on the first and third Thursday of each month.

The study comes from Barbara Brown Taylor’s book The Seeds of Heaven: Sermons on the Gospel of Matthew. Books can still be ordered from http://www.Amazon.com.
