Psalm 133
How very good and pleasant it is when kindred live together in unity! It is like the precious oil on the head, running down upon the beard, on the beard of Aaron, running down over the collar of his robes. It is like the dew of Hermon, which falls on the mountains of Zion. For there the Lord ordained his blessing, life forevermore.
Saturday Nite Live is a ministry of First Presbyterian Church providing recreational programs for late teens and adults with mental and physical challenges. Through a wide variety of monthly events, the program provides fun opportunities for socialization and fellowship.
Its purpose is to:
- provide fellowship activities in a Christian setting
- create an atmosphere where friendships are developed with peers and others
- give an opportunity for parents to meet for support or have respite
- offer interactive worship experiences
- afford opportunities for missions and outreach to others
- celebrate each individual’s giftedness as a child of God.
Recent events have included a music night, game night, supper with Santa, several themed dances, and our 4 x 4 Outdoor Adventure.
For more than two decades, this ministry has been an important part of the mission and outreach effort of our church. Countless volunteers and generous gifts have made this possible. The group receives some donations from individuals and groups related to the SNL guests, but this program is primarily supported through monies designated by the Deacons as a portion of funds for local mission.
Prayer
Creator God, we rejoice as the myriad of faces and voices that make up the body of Christ. We thank You for the Saturday Nite Live ministry and the incredible ways that it shares Your presence, love, and joy with all Your children. Guide us to seek out ways to share Your love with everyone we encounter in our lives. In Your name we pray, Amen.
