WORSHIP

Parma-South Presbyterian Church offers two worship services each Sunday. The purpose of worship at Parma-South is to connect people to God in Jesus Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit. Children and infants are always welcome in any of our worship services, but child care alternatives and education classes are available year-round on Sunday mornings. Visitors are always welcome!

"First Light" Worship begins at 9:00 a.m. This service, which is held in the Fellowship Hall is an informal worship service. The service is approximately one hour in length and features Praise Songs lead by the First Light Singers. Parma-South's and the handbell choir also present worship music during this service. On the first and third Sundays of every month, the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper is celebrated during "First Light" Worship.

From 10:00 - 10:30 a.m. is a time for fellowship, where people can greet friends and make new ones.
