On the first Tuesday of each month, people gather downtown for a lunch, speaker and some discussion around a wide variety of topics - church and culture issues, faith questions, the changing face of Louisville, topics of personal interest. Think of it as a quick retreat with some Christian friends from different places to think about the world of work and living from a different direction. The Union is a joint effort between Highland and Second Presbyterian Churches. There is lunch, then a speaker for 20-25 minutes, and time for questions following. The meetings are held in the Courtyard Room of Vincenzo's Restaurant, 105 S. 5th Street. The time is 11:30 a.m. Lunch: buffet salad and entrée, dessert and iced tea. Cost: $15.00 including gratuity. This month's topic is "NuLu and You" Think New Louisville. Our guest spaker is Gill Holland, Co-Developer of the Green Building on East Market Street, Film Producer and Louisville Magazine 2009 Person of the Year. Please RSVP if you will attend by 4:00 p.m. Monday, September 6, to

Please join us on Tuesday mornings for "A Time for Prayer in the Chapel." You are invited to come any week you are able and just as you are, to sit with others in the chapel as we share with one another the concerns of members of our church family and of others whom we know are in need of prayer. A Time for Prayer is not a formal worship service, but instead a time to gather together, to share and to pray. All are welcome. |

Starting Thursday morning, September 9, Steve Jester will be leading a study on the Gospel of John and it is sure to be thought-provoking and insightful.
Often referred to as the “spiritual Gospel,” John differs from the other three gospels in its tone, structure, and portrayal of Jesus. The Fourth Gospel isn’t just a narration of Jesus’ life. It focuses on his divinity. It is an argument for belief - that Jesus IS the Christ, the Son of God and that it is through believing that we gain life. The study is open to all - men and women – and is not limited to members from Second. So, be sure and invite a neighbor or friend to come too. Also, while we encourage you to come each week, there is no required attendance. You are always welcome.
While the format of the study is lecture-based, Steve’s approach is extremely interactive. Questions are encouraged and concepts are discussed and explored collectively. To sign-up, just email

or call her at the church office at 895-3483 ext. 219. You can also register on September 9, beginning at 9:30 a.m. in Fellowship Hall. To defray the cost of materials, all participants are asked to contribute $10. Make this study a part of your weekly schedule. |

Weekly Evening Worship begins Sunday, September 12, at 5:00 p.m. in Fellowship Hall “A.” We don’t want to call it “alternative” or “contemporary” or even “casual” worship. A tentative idea is calling this time of worship “3rd @ 2nd,” which is consistent with labeling trends at Second and sends the message that this third worship option is more casual in setting and dress and has a more contemporary feel. At any rate, we pray this will be a helpful option for members and friends who seek a different time for, and approach to, worship. Talk it up and mark your calendars! |
