Join us on Sunday, June 28, as we celebrate Pride Month with a very special worship service in honor of First Congregational's covenant to be Open and Affirming, first made by a congregational vote in 1994. This worship service includes a courtroom drama called "God Loves All: Case Closed," which contains frank language about the complexities of navigating biblical interpretation on the issue of human sexuality. In this church, we seek the truth with integrity in a spirit of love on our quest for unity and peace. And we seek to manifest the freedom to express our God-given creative gifts when they are under threat. So, we seek not only to be open and affirming, but to celebrate and show God's love for all God's rainbow people....
Refreshments and fellowship are available in the Parlor
before and after worship from 9:45 AM to 12:30 PM.
Everyone is invited to join in this time of learning and conversation before Sunday worship, featuring opportunities to share ideas and grow.
10:00 Choir Practice
First Congregational's choir rehearses in the Choir Room on the second floor of the church at 10:00 each Sunday morning. The choir then sings at the 11:00 service. All are welcome to sing with the choir, and there's no need to sign up in advance.
11:00 First Congregational Worship
(in-person and live-streamed)
First Congregational's worship service features hymns, vocal choir music, and organ, and occasionally handbells or a jazz trio. Communion is celebrated on the first Sunday of the month, and all are welcome to participate.
