Child Care

Child care is provided for infants and young children
to age three during worship.
A professional attendant is on duty 9:50 a.m. to 11:45 a.m.
Church School
Children attend the first part of the worship service.
They hear the scripture read and are present for at least one
hymn and other music of the service.
 |
The pastor shares a message
appropriate for children, usually based on the scriptural theme
for the service. |
At a designated point in the worship service
they leave for Church School which runs until 11:15 a.m.
Healing Service
Over the past several years a meaningful tradition of
offering prayers and anointing oil for individuals has been part
of our worship routine. The following Sundays will offer a
healing service during our worship time:
April 22, 2012
July 29, 2012
September 30, 2012 Special
Saturday Healing Service
December 1, 2012
We invite you to either come forward during the healing
service to receive a prayer and anointing OR
to spend the time in prayerful reflection. We know that busy
lives do not often afford us moments to sit and simply be.
Hopefully these services will be space for extended prayer and
for you to voice your prayers to God.

Accessibility
Attempting to be a faith community which is inclusive rather
than exclusive, First Congregational Church strives to provide a
barrier free environment within our building in order to make
worship and participation in other church programs readily
accessible to all.
