Sunday Worship
The congregation gathers each Sunday morning at 10 a.m. for worship centered on prayer, praise, Scripture, and the experience of the presence of our triune God in our lives – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Essential parts include piano and/or organ music with frequent guest instrumentalists, a children’s message that relates to the theme of that day, and a sermon that speaks of current events, God’s call on our lives, and how we can faithfully respond.
​
Virtual worship is available enabling us to gather from near and far. The service is recorded to Facebook and can be viewed anytime on the Facebook page. @fpcwarren

Summer Outdoor Worship
​
During June, July and August, our lives slow down, even though our weekends seem to get busier. Additionally, in the summertime, we enjoy being outdoors in God’s creation. FPC offers mid-week worship services in our backyard every other Tuesday beginning at 6:30 pm. These casual services are a time of prayer, music, fellowship, and worshiping God while sitting in our own lawn chairs or on the grass. Often, we fellowship together starting at 5:30 pm with food from your own picnic basket. In case of inclement weather, we gather inside in Fellowship Hall. All are welcome to join together for this informal worship service that lasts 30-45 minutes.
