January 3 - February 14
You can watch last week's service on our website. Next Sunday's Psalm 139 brings home this message: we are in an intimate relationship with God. There is nowhere we go that God is not present–no state of our being that results in our being abandoned. God has knit us together, has woven us, knowing us from before our beginning. God, indeed, is holding our lives.
Your "Held" Testimony
How have you experienced being held by God? We would love for you to share with us either by writing your experience or giving a testimony during our worship service. Let Pastor Jason know.
See the order of service here.

There are as many ways to pray as there are number of people multiplied by their season of life multiplied by the circumstances in which they find themselves – in other words, a lot!
Sometimes our prayer life, our connection with God, benefits from a little bit of structure. Join us Thursday evening, January 14, at 6:30 PM via Zoom as we gather to learn about and practice writing a collect (pronounced cahl-lect) prayer. The collect prayer is a short, simple prayer with a specific structure. We will walk through the lines step by step and practice writing our thoughts about and to God in this form.
Join us here. The password, if you need it, is fcclw.

Keep those Advent candles! Hopefully by Advent this year we will be physically together again. However, hold on to your Advent candles as a reminder of our virtual time together last year. Nelson Stone is making holders for your set of candles and will bring them down when they come back to Florida in 2021. Thanks, Nelson!

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!
