  They have a good sermon every Sunday.

  I know nothing of the church's politics or liturgy but I do know the church is a terrible neighbor. In the winter, they do not shovel their sidewalks after a snow storm; in the summer the battleship that is the air-conditioning on their roof emits an unremitting noise, disturbing all who live near the building. They claim not to have enough money to properly insulate the air-conditioner, yet they found the money to rehabilitate their bells, which play pop tunes from time to time on no regular schedule. I hope they do not hide behind their Saturday morning food distribution as evidence of their charitable instincts--though exemplary their thoughtlessness toward their immediate neighbors is shameful.The church's priorities are a mystery and their self-serving policies are a stain on the entire Presbyterian denomination. P.S. Turns out the food distribution program is not theirs but rather the Episcopal church on Tenth Street; recipients merely line up beside First Pres.

  I'm writing because I am confused by the previous review. I too live in the neighborhood of Old First. Though I don't live close enough to comment on the air conditioning unit, I've never noticed the sidewalks unkept, and I've never heard the church bells ring except as a call to worship on Sundays (and certainly not playing any pop songs). Also, what food distribution on Saturday mornings? I think that is a different church. Old First does, however, have a number of outreach and community oriented programs, including art exhibits, lectures and concerts, as well as charitable activities. Is the previous reviewer referencing the right church? As a long time Village resident, I certainly feel grateful to have Old First in my neighborhood.

  Always thoughtful sermons. Caring clergy, many ministries, fantastic choir, and an open and affirming congregation.
