Jingle Bell Run

In December, First Presbyterian Church hosts the Jingle Bell Run – a 5k gallop through the streets of downtown Manhattan.  We encourage participants of all ages to get into the holiday spirit with this family-friendly event.  Many even dress up in fun festive attire, with Christmas lights and reindeer antlers, to enjoy the season!


Presby Diners – January, February & March

Presby Diners is an annual event sponsored by the Membership, Fellowship and Church Growth committees of First Presbyterian designed to connect people in the church who never would have met otherwise!

  • Monthly events are held in January, February and March.  The “host” provides the main dish and drinks.  The “guests” provide appetizer, salad, vegetable, bread or dessert that you and the “host” agree on.  Yes, you may purchase food.
  • A typical gathering occurs on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday evening when approximately 8 to 10 people gather and share a meal and fellowship.  It is a great opportunity to meet new people and renew old friendships.  You will eat with a different group each month and it is open to singles, couples, members and non-members.
