Worship Through the Arts
At First Presbyterian Church of Stroudsburg, we believe art is holy. For as long as this congregation has gathered on Main Street, the arts have shaped how we pray, how we wonder, and how we belong to one another. This summer, we are stepping more intentionally into that calling — exploring what it might look like to deepen our commitment to worship through the arts. We'd love for you to be part of the conversation.
Every Sunday this summer, our worship will experiment with a different art form — and we're inviting you to experience it, reflect on it, and tell us what you think.
June 7 — Sermon and potter's wheel with Rev. Denise Griebler.
June 14 — A piano and preacher dialogue with Rev. Beth Utley and Scott Besser.
June 21 — Original art created by the congregation and a special anthem explore the story of Creation.
June 28 — Handbells and reader's theater bring the story of Jonah to life.
July 5 — Bluegrass worship, followed by an open conversation about the future of this ministry.
Friendship
Here at FPCS, we believe relationships are holy. We believe our purpose in the community is to foster new and lasting relationships between people and our loving God and between people and other people. Sometimes that means offering our physical space for community events like Stroudfest, Pocono Concert Chorale, recitals and fundraisers, or hosting events that bring people together. Always it means being challenged to live and serve as a people practicing biblical love—concrete acts of service for the welfare of the other.
We strive to be a place of welcome and community for the great mosaic of humankind that God creates.
