In April, we revisit the banner depicting the HEIDELBERG CATECHISM. The banner can be found in the sanctuary to the left of the lectern. Lutheran teachings and forms of worship received favorable response in many parts of Germany in the 16th century. However, in Southwest Germany, a period of Presbyterian fervor arose under the leadership of Frederick III, Protestant elector of the Palatinate (a German province with Heidelberg as its capital.) Frederick commissioned the writing of a catechism, (a series of questions and answers used in teaching new Christians). Olivianus and Ursinus, two young theologians, wrote the catechism in 1563. They wrote a warm-hearted, appealing but still Biblically sound statement of faith. The Heidelberg Catechism is widely used in German and Dutch Reformed traditions. It has also been used in many translations around the world.

Most services of worship at First Presbyterian Church include the preaching of a sermon, usually by the Senior Pastor. You can find a printed copy of the Sunday sermon in the narthex or the church office.
