First Presbyterian Church, Tulsa produces a bi-monthly magazine titled Tidings. This publication is mailed directly to member's homes. It is also available in the literature racks of both the Narthex of the church building and the Great Hall lobby of the Bernsen Community Life Center; in the east Church entrance inside the portico; and online, by clicking on the links below.
Tidings includes some calendar information, but it is primarily a First Church story of discipleship and testimony to the work and person of Jesus Christ. Each issue includes stories of members involved in various ministries of the church, articles about developing spiritual disciplines, and opportunities to help you grow as a disciple.
We're always looking for contributors! If you would like to write, take photos, or offer artistic assistance for Tidings, please contact Doug Smith, Editor of Tidings, at (918) 301-1032.
Our current issue:
Reflecting Our Past, Lighting Our Future
Illuminations, a stunning new book celebrating the art and architecture of First Church, caps off the 125th Anniversary celebrations.
"Water, Water, Everywhere!"
We celebrate the waters of creation . . . and the "Living Water"
From the first chapter of Genesis to the last chapter of Revelation, water plays a fundamental role in God’s plan for creation. It nurtures, cleanses, remakes and renews. It figures prominently in miracles and metaphors. And its power, mystery and necessity are so universal that Jesus refers to himself as “Living Water”.
"Let's Start Building!"
…Then the people said, “Let’s start building!” So they committed themselves to the common good.
—Nehemiah 2:18
Bring in the big equipment for our "God-sized" project! Join us for a groundbreaking service and picnic on the grounds on May 30. This issue of Tidings is full of architectural renderings of our new spaces for worship and service. You can view it here in either single-page or page-spread format.
