Intergenerational Service
This Sunday we will worship together around the tables in the fellowship hall. We will be talking together about how we might fear bullies less. Was there ever a time in your life that you were bullied? How did it make you
feel? October Worship Series We live in a time marked by fear. Scripture tells us to “fear not.” To become fearless seems impossible. However, could we fear less? During our worship in October we will talk about fear, things about which we are afraid, and how we might fear…less. Join
us! Hustle2EndHunger
First Congregational had 8 members participating in the C.R.O.S. Ministries Hustle2endhunger event on October 6th. To date we have raised over
$1,400. Christmon Ornaments
On October 26th at 9:30 a.m. we will be having a work day to organize and repair the Christmon ornaments. A Christmon is a symbol for Christ. Everyone is welcome (especially if you feel crafty). |
We raised $180 for the U.C.C. Disaster Relief for Hurricane Florence at the Mission Sunday coffee hour
on September 30th. Movie and Dinner Friday Night Foreign Films
Mark this date on your calendar! Friday, October
12th is our next movie date. October’s film is “Mandariinid,” or “Tangerines” – a film from Estonia/Georgia that depicts the life-changing encounter between two wounded fighters from opposite sides of the war in Abkhazia. How do tangerines figure in this story? Come and find out! (The violence depicted means this is not a film for children.) Potluck meal at 6:30 PM, show time 7:00 PM. Questions? Call Carol Lewis or Karen
Christensen. Book Club
The Whole Town's Talking, a novel by Fannie Flagg, is the selection for our next meeting on October 16 at 6:30 p.m. Flagg, who also wrote Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe, brings us another humorous, imaginative and unforgettable story of life and love that never dies. This wonderful, multigenerational saga will bring some pleasant relief from the harsh
daily news and get our whole group talking! House
Meetings In October we will be holding our annual justice ministry house meetings. These are an opportunity to take some time and listen to one another and to hear the stories that make us angry and keep us up at night. We would like everyone to consider being a part of one of these gatherings. Stay tuned for
dates. Rainbow Interfaith Meditation
The interfaith meditation sessions on Thursday nights have been appreciated by the many who have attended. It is a great opportunity to
engage a different language of spirituality. |
