New Comer Lunch              


Join Pastor Jason this Sunday, June 28th after the worship service for a light lunch and time together to talk about spiritual life and community, First Congregational Church and the United Church of Christ. If you have been attending our church and would like to learn more about who we are, this is a great opportunity. If you are a member and want to learn more about our life together. For those who wish to join First Congregational we will receive new members on July 5th.


 
Of Bugs and Bones


Frederick Buechner famously wrote that a "self-authenticating religious experience" might actually kill him; so we're left with personal stories of how our imaginations sometimes reach for the ineffable. And that might not be a bad thing... Here's a lovely one from Lesley-Anne Evans. 
 
Service Day
Mark your calendars for Saturday, August 1st. We will be painting a neighborhood house with "Paint Your Heart Out Lake Worth." Join us as we work together to make our community better!

Thank you
Trish, Emerson, and I had a great vacation last week. We had the opportunity to unplug and spend some much needed time together.

Thank you to everyone who helped make our week away possible including Dr. Button for preaching, Carol Lewis and Carolyn Ludwig for doing the children's lessons, Makenzie Button for sharing in song, Cathy Austen for making sure everything ran smoothly, Harvey Littlefield for minding the campus as usual, and all of the rest of you for being here and carrying out your parts as we are the church together. I am looking forward to the rest of the summer with you!

Facebook
If you are on Facebook, you can keep up with what is happening "between Sundays" on our Facebook page. 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.

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.
