It’s hard to believe that it is August already, the summer is nearly spent with school and Fall activities right around the corner. To be honest, I am ready for some nice Fall weather! Usually, Summer is a time to slow down, take a moment to breathe deep and get re-energized. But, sometimes just as […]
Our Sunday worship services will no longer be broadcast through Zoom – they will be livestreamed on YouTube. Enter any time without a code, or check the video out later in the week, @FirstPresbyterianChurchTR!
Dear Friends,
I have struggled with writing this, partly because my heart is so heavy after the senseless death of 19 children and two of their teachers. I wonder, how long O Lord, until we take real measures to protect the most vulnerable among us. I cannot even imagine living through this horrific loss of a […]
Greetings!
This month we celebrate Easter, the most important Church holiday of the year. It’s the day we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ as well as being raised to new life in Him! As Easter has become more and more commercialized, it’s easy to focus on just one day. There’s the build-up with Easter eggs, […]
Dear Friends,
Lent begins with Ash Wednesday, March 2. The beginning of a Holy Season in which we prepare our hearts and minds as we move toward Easter and the remembrance of Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection. Lent is a time for us to make a conscious and concerted effort to encounter God and be empowered by […]
Greetings! As I contemplate these cloudy days, sometimes I am struck by what seems to be a cloudiness of soul. There is so much that concerns all of us in this day and time as we still struggle with the pandemic, as we see natural disasters become more frequent, as we see our country struggle […]
Happy New Year!
Christmas felt like it came up on us quickly and was over very quickly. I hope you had a blessed holiday season that brought you joy and contentment.
Some people I know expressed this year that they just couldn’t get into the spirit of things. It just didn’t feel like Christmas. I know there […]

As I write this, it is a beautiful Fall day and the leaves are just starting to show their glory! With this article we will complete my series about worship and why we do what we do in worship.
The reading of Scripture and the Word Proclaimed in the sermon go hand in hand. The Book […]
Hi Everyone and Welcome to Fall…..I hope!
It is September and to be honest I am done with summer and ready for fall colors, pumpkins and sweaters!
This month I am continuing through the worship liturgy and we are going to look at the Call to the Confession of Sin, Prayer of Confession, and the Assurance of […]
Greetings!
I can’t believe it’s August already and we have been meeting together in person with those who are comfortable doing so for a little over a month. I am also very grateful that we now have the capability of streaming via Zoom through our A/V system consistently so that people who are unable to be […]

Dear Friends,
It is good news that I am bringing you! In accordance with the state of Michigan lifting mandates for mask wearing, distancing and size of gatherings, the Session has approved lifting the restrictions we have in place while maintaining some guidelines as specified by the CDC. You are no longer mandated to wear a […]

Greetings!
Happy Spring! Daffodils have bloomed, the world is greening up and the rhododendrons by the church were especially beautiful this year! I’m anxious to plant a small garden and flower beds. Spring is a time of anticipating, watching things grow, waiting for flowers to share their colorful splendor or maybe carefully checking for that first […]
Dear Friends,
Easter is upon us and here we are a year after trying to adjust to celebrating one of our most joyous and sacred holidays via Zoom. There have been many ups and downs and glitches we have weathered and to be at the same place in the process is disappointing at best. There are […]

Church cat Bennett also enjoys the action.
Join […]
Greetings and Hello February!
January seemed to fly by and for some reason I have always felt like February was the longest month of the year even though it has the fewest days! Maybe it’s because I start looking for signs of Spring way too early and I’m anticipating working in my flower gardens. So, this […]
