Sermons from First United Presbyterian Church

Watch the sermon here A Very Louis Christmas Yesterday morning, Louis got up REALLY early. Can you imagine why? Louis was SO excited for Christmas morning to FINALLY be here. He’d been waiting and waiting, and he couldn’t wait any more. So he jumped out of bed, and he ran downstairs to the living room, and there were presents EVERYWHERE! The stockings were full to overflowing. There were gifts wrapped under the tree. There were more gifts under the stockings. There was even a great, big, giant gift in a great, big, giant sack with a bow on it.   Louis jumped up and down, and then he ran back upstairs to his parents’ bedroom and threw open the door and went and jumped on their bed.

  Watch the Sermon from Sunday here The First United Presbyterian Church of Loveland “Close to Home: Laying the Foundation” Rev. Amy Morgan December 5, 2021 First Reading:  Philippians 1:3-11 I thank my God every time I remember you, constantly praying with joy in every one of my prayers for all of you, because of your sharing in the gospel from the first day until now.
