Current COVID-19 Precautions
St. Croix County’s current CDC COVID-19 Community Level is LOW.
Accordingly, while masks are welcome anytime, masks are not currently required in the church building.
The CDC’s COVID-19 “Community Level” for St. Croix County (view at covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker) at 9am each Friday will set the operational precautions for all activities at First Presbyterian Church (including community groups using the building) for that Friday through the following Thursday.
Our next worship gathering is…
Worship Sunday, December 11, 2022, 9:30 am, the Third Sunday of Advent —We welcome all to gather in the Sanctuary or remotely via Zoom.
- The “virtual” doors for worship (i.e. we’ll let people in from the waiting room) beginning at 9:25 am when our gathering music begins.
- If you will only have audio, we encourage you to keep a copy of the order of service handy, so that you will have the words for unison prayers and hymns.
WE’RE HIRING!!!

Blankets & Bags Headed to Offer Comfort to Children Being Placed in Foster Care
Responding to an expressed need from our mission partner Safe Haven Foster Shoppe, in October, the Mission Committee sponsored a bag drive for empty diaper and duffle bags, which will be filled with new comfort and personal items to be given to children and teens when they are being placed in foster care. More than a dozen bags were donated. In addition, on October 23, as part of our Love in Action service Sunday, many helped to tie more than a dozen fleece blankets for the placement bags. On November 13, we blessed these items and prayed for the children who will receive them. May the bags and blankets wrap each young person in God’s love.
Expanded COVID-19 Memorial Dedicated
On Sunday, November 6, we held a brief prayer service to hang and dedicate the expansion of the “Web of Loss & Connection-A St. Croix County COVID-19 Memorial” near the labyrinth. Tragically, 74 additional St. Croix County neighbors have died since we first installed the memorial in fall 2021, and we wanted to remember them too. View pictures here.
Friendly Faces at the Library’s Trick or Treat Trail!
Pastor Lora led a great group of First Pres friends to host a table at the Hudson Area Public Library’s trick or treat trail on Oct. 29. Their welcoming presence was inclusive of all, and embodied our commitments to caring for God’s beautiful creation, building intergenerational connections, and engaging loving community through art!

Love in Action Sunday Offers Time for Shared Service
Sunday, October 23, was a joyful morning for the First Pres family to gather and put their “Love in Action” through shared service. Participants engaged in various service activities at home, at the church, and out in the community! Prayers were lifted, blankets were tied for children entering foster care (they’ll be distributed through Safe Haven Foster Shoppe), and LOTS of leaves were raked at 3 different yards!
