Tis the season. Above is a photo of the First Presbyterian Church of Greensboro at 617 North Elm Street. The First Presbyterian Church was first organized in 1824 by the Rev. William D. Paisley. This was sixteen years after Greensboro was established. This is actually the fourth iteration of the First Presbyterian Church. The third building remains today, a few blocks to the southeast on Church Street and Summit Avenue. That building is now used as the Greensboro History Museum. The above building was constructed in 1929.*
In addition to church today, if you are in the mood for some Christmas music, this afternoon at 4:30, there is a handbell prelude in the sanctuary and then at 5:00 pm, there are scripture readings and music with the Chancel Choir, the Canticle Choir, and the Coventry Singers and orchestra. The event will also be available through live-streaming HERE. This would be a great way to begin the final week before Christmas. With the music and the beautiful, monumental sanctuary it feels like a little bit of Europe right here in Greensboro.
