We're Small, but Mighty!

At the end-of-year PEACE Justice Ministry Celebration on May 20th First Congregational United Church of Christ was awarded the Micah 6:8 award. Out of all the congregations involved in People Engaged in Active Community Efforts, we turned out the largest percentage of our average worship attendance. Why is that important? It shows that we take our justice practice as seriously as we do our other ministries. It means that, once a year, we bring as many people to do justice as come each week to worship. Thank you for your faithfulness!

Also, at the justice ministry celebration, our network members committed to invest over $7,000 dollars in our justice ministry for this year!

Facebook

First, go to our page and "Like" us. However, just liking us does not mean that you will see everything we post. Each of our Facebook posts only goes to about 2% of the people who like our page. To make sure you see everything, after you like us, go to the pull-down menu on the "Like" button and click

"Get Notifications." This way everything that we post will show up on your own Facebook wall. If you are on Facebook, you can keep up with what is happening "between Sundays" on our Facebook page.

Facebook Live

As much as we love gathering together on Sunday mornings, there are times when we are out of town or otherwise unable to be there in person.

You can now watch our worship service live on Facebook right on your computer, tablet, or smart phone. At 10:30 on Sunday just head over to our Facebook page and join us!

Online Giving

Have you explored the opportunity of electronic giving? You can choose to have a set amount taken from your bank account on a regular basis or you can make a one (or more) time gift by checking account or credit card on our website. Your regular electronic giving means that your gift is available for ministry even when you are away (or forgot your checkbook!). Thank you for your continued support of the ministry of First Congregational Church!
