Sixth Sunday of Easter Worship Service
2026-05-10 10:30 - 11:30
Jesus said, “If you love me, keep my commandments.” (John 14:15)) He later said that the
greatest commandment is love – to love God with our whole heart, mind, and soul, and to love
our neighbors as ourselves. This Sunday we will be exploring what that kind of divine looks like
as we hear God’s word proclaimed in scripture, sermon, and song. Our choir will sing a beautiful
piece called “The Goodness of God.” Come, join us for worship this Sunday and experience the
love of God! You’re also invited to enjoy some refreshments during our coffee/fellowship time
at 10:00am before worship. We look forward to seeing you!

Pentecost Sunday Worship
2026-05-24 10:30 - 23:30
This Sunday we celebrate the feast of Pentecost – Fifty days after Easter, when the first apostles
received the gift of the Holy Spirit. It is known as the “birthday of the Church” because the
apostles – filled with a newly infused confidence – went out and spread the gospel of Jesus
worldwide. That same Spirit that infused the early apostles is with us today – filling us with
confidence, hope, and a passion to carry out God’s mission of love and justice.
Join us for worship this Sunday as we experience the power and movement of the Holy Spirit. Be
energized by the Word of God, lively music, and other artistic expressions. Our great choir will
sing “Spirit, Come Down.” Wear some red – the color of the flames of holy fire – and be prepared to “Feel the Spirit!”

Trinity Sunday Worship
2026-05-31 10:30 - 11:30
This Sunday we have a lot of celebrations happening at First Presbyterian Church in Rome, NY!
We celebrate not only Trinity Sunday, but our Choir Recognition and Graduate Recognition –
Three events – one service – very Trinitarian! More than a doctrine, the Trinity expressed the
heart of our faith: we have experienced the God of creation made known in Jesus Christ and with
us always through the Holy Spirit. We celebrate this holy mystery of the Holy Trinity in our
worship, our music, and as we bear witness to our faith through our daily living.
Join us for worship this Sunday as we experience and celebrate the presence of the Trinity- the
Holy Three in One – in our lives. Our fabulous choir will sing one last time together before their
summer break with the beautiful song “How Can I Keep From Singing.” A reception will follow
to honor our choir and our graduates. We can’t wait to see you all!

Second Sunday after Pentecost Outdoor Worship Service/Picnic
2026-06-07 10:30 - 11:30
Join us for worship this Sunday for an outdoor worship service at Lee Town Park as we praise
God in the beauty of God’s creation. Our theme for this Sunday is The Healing Power of Faith.
We’ll hear through scripture several stories of reaching out in faith and how God always reaches
out to us. Kevin Bailey will join us and share some wonderful music on his guitar, we’ll sing
some lively “camp songs,” and after worship, we’ll enjoy a great outdoor picnic! Come for a
great Sunday worship experience!

Third Sunday After Pentecost-Sunday Worship Service
2026-06-14 10:30 - 11:30
Jesus said, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few.” There is indeed so much need in our
world. People are eager for guidance and a message of hope. As Jesus’ disciples, we have been called
to both an opportunity and a responsibility to work in the harvest of the kingdom of God.
Come and be renewed in God’s Word, the sacrament of Holy Communion, and the beautiful music
of “On Eagles Wings” by our Senior Choir. Let’s be laborers in God’s kingdom together!

Fourth Sunday After Pentecost Worship Service
2026-06-21 10:30 - 11:30
God’s mission of love and justice conflicts with cultural norms, causing division and conflict. The
Ancient prophets experienced the challenge of delivering God’s word in the midst of defiance.
Jesus calls us to be His disciples and to persevere despite opposition as well, and assures us that
despite the challenges of being His disciples, we need not be afraid. “Do not be afraid; you are
worth more than many sparrows.” God is always with us, a mighty warrior for righteousness.
Come and be renewed in hope and faith as we focus on what it means to be a disciple today. Our
great choir will be singing “Here I Am, Lord.” Be renewed, be inspired, be Spirit-filled!
