This week on Fridays at First, Dr. Richard Gibbons shares exciting ways First Presbyterian Church is celebrating our nation’s 250th birthday, including special patriotic worship services on June 28 and the upcoming Proclaim Liberty concert on July 1. He also congratulates this year’s graduates, highlights the Father’s Day Men’s Choir, and welcomes Fine Arts Director Chelsea Fraser for a conversation with artist Mary Burkett about her upcoming Lenz Gallery exhibit. Finally, Dr. Gibbons reflects on the significance of Communion and invites listeners to prepare for the Lord’s Supper by reading Luke 24:28–35 before Sunday worship.
