Devotionals

Daily devotionals give us a way to read the Bible in an orderly way and reflect on its meaning in our lives. At First Presbyterian Church, we encourage all members and families to make time for daily devotionals. Here are a variety of resources that you can use as you grow in your walk with the Lord.
