A Guide to Wholehearted Living
We are continuing in our worship series, "A Guide to Wholehearted Living." Each week for ten weeks we will engage one of the guideposts for wholehearted living from Brene Brown's book The Gifts of Imperfection. Check out our website for all the ways you can participate in this series.
This week we took a moment to remind ourselves that we are created to create. You can watch the service on our website. This week, we will talk about the importance of rest.
Join us for worship at 10:30am on Sunday mornings. You can watch the service right here each week on Facebook or on our YouTube Channel.
See the Order of Worship here.

Library of Spiritual Practices
Over on our website we have started a "Library of Spiritual Practices," activities to engage that creates space for the work of God in our lives. Last week, we added "Morning Pages" and "The Artist Date" as our inaugural entries. Check it
out here.

Guideposts Discussion Group
In addition to the worship series, we will have a book discussion group on Thursday evenings at 6:00 PM, beginning July 21. Each week, we will discuss the guidepost from the previous Sunday. We will meet in-person and via Zoom here. Each week, we will dig deep into the guidepost and work at how we might apply it to our lives.

As another way of connecting with our congregation and our community, we have started a YouTube channel. Here, you can watch (and share) sermon and teaching videos as well as videos from our life together.
Go to our channel, subscribe to it, and share it with others. When we get to 100
subscribers, it unlocks some additional features we can use.

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!
