Engaging Exodus
This Sunday in worship we explored the rituals of the Passover Meal and the Communion Table and talked about how they formed us. Unfortunately, there is no recording of this weeks sermon. For the next several weeks, we will explore what this ancient epic has to teach us in the 21st century. You can read along with us daily here. Next Sunday, we will experience the mighty power of God that led the Israelites out of Egypt.
  
Coastal Cleanup
On Saturday, September 20th, we will be involved in the International Coastal Cleanup. See Janet Lisle for more information.
 
The Daily
The daily is back from summer hiatus! Check in each day for thoughts on the daily lectionary readings, links to inspirational devotionals and opportunities to pray for one another.
 
Online Giving
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!
