Second Presbyterian Church

When we gather together on Sunday mornings, through prayer, music, images, words, the Bible, and liturgy, part of what we are doing is trying to put our lives in perspective.  From January 8-February 19 we will reflect on how worship shapes us and on ways in which our worship together should prepare us for daily life.
