Because of the current Covid-19 virus crisis and for the safety of our participants and the larger community, we have suspended all in-person gatherings on campus.

August 2nd “All-Inclusive Grace”
If you usually watch us on Facebook, you know we had some broadcast issues on Sunday. Here is most of our worship service, including our time of virtual communion – We engaged and experienced God’s “All-Inclusive Grace.”
A School Supply Drive will be conducted as normal, but with some pandemic twists. We will be receiving your donations from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. on July 31 and August 7. Just drive by and drop them off in the back parking
lot at the church. Nancy Lydon and Janet Lisle will be there to receive your donations.
Additionally, we are researching a shop on-line and delivery option with Walmart and Amazon, so stay tuned for those details.
If you have any questions call Janet Lisle at 561-964-3749. Any mailed deliveries should be sent to:
5949 LaPinata Blvd, D-1, Lake Worth, FL 33463. If ordering items for delivery, please check that they WILL be delivered prior to August 13.
Thank you in advance.

subscribers, it unlocks some additional features we can use.

Needing Help With Zoom?
It has been a challenge for most of us to learn new technologies in such a short period of time. Sometimes it feels like we're in Disney World's Carousel of Progress, but it's spinning way faster than it should. If you're still having difficulty with signing on Zoom, here is a tutorial that might be
helpful.

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!

Thank you for your consistency and your generosity in your giving during our current unique and challenging circumstances.
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!
