January 3 - February 14
This week we dove into Psalm 139 and how its understanding of God can help form our identity. You can watch the worship service on our website. Next Sunday we will explore what it means to follow “God alone."
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.

Justice Ministry Update
On Wednesday, Sheriff Bradshaw met with Dr. McDevitt, who presented his work on data collection and racial bias in policing. It was a productive meeting and discussion, with Sheriff Bradshaw indicating he wants to use this type of data collection at PBSO to watch for signs of racial profiling. You can see the entire video here. We are working to schedule a follow-up meeting with the Sheriff about Community IDs so stay tuned!
This Saturday is our Justice Ministry Network Meeting - where we plan how to reach our goal of turning out 100 people to our Nehemiah Action in March. We will meet via Zoom, but we will also have a group meeting in person on campus for those that need to. Let Jason know if you will be attending in
person.

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!
