first presbyterian church

The church was open to the public for folks to see the stained glass windows. Historic, interesting. Nice folks outside the church.

We love to attend worship services at First Presby when we are in Whitefish. The pastor is a joyful leader who just makes everyone smile. But, more than that, he is a thoughtful man of faith who brings a great message. The congregation is welcoming and just as joyful as the pastor. A great start to a Sunday morning!

I set sail for downtown Whitefish on a Sunday while my husband golfed. There happened to be some shady parking on a sunny day, so I pulled up in front of the local Presbyterian Church. It is a lovely, well-kept building, and it seems to be one of the centers of community activity, anchored at the end of the retail district. I am a people watcher (and writer), so I sat in my car and watched the lovely gathering of people on the wide sidewalk where tables and chairs had been set up for after-church socializing around the anchoring presence of a coffee urn. The folks tended to be middle-aged or older. It looked as if they were truly enjoying each other's company, and I got the distinct impression that, had I walked up and introduced myself, they would have welcomed me right into the community of fellowship that day.
