The 2010 schedule of Lenten activities offers a wide array of opportunities to immerse yourself in God's presence and discover new connections with God. Information concerning Worship services, Bible Study opportunities and Wednesday Night at Six events are listed in the schedule. Everyone is welcome to attend.

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.
