We strive to be a growing congregation that takes our faith seriously by being welcoming and working disciples in God's world.

Our mission is to spread God's good news!

This church endeavors to encourage growth in mind and spirit by sharing in the worship of God, by providing additional learning opportunities for adults as well as youth, and by promoting a sense of family and fellowship in the Christian community.

The Shared Ministry Committee is planning two roundtable discussions based on ideas from the book "Completing the Circle". Randomly selected members of the congregration will receive invitations to attend one of the two discussions. Any other interested members are also welcome to attend either session.

See page five of the September Tower Notes for more information concerning the roundtable discussions, including the topics to be discussed.

Sunday Worship
9:50 a.m.

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: Included as part of our Sunday Worship the fifth Sunday of a month as well as during Lent. This is a service which fosters healing of self, of others or of the world. It is a time of prayer, scripture readings, anointing and laying on of hands.

Fellowship Time: Join us after worship for fellowship and refreshment in our Fireside Room and get to know our members.

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.
