Join us for our Easter Sunrise service.

6:00 a.m. at Newcomb Hollow Beach

On Good Friday, we gather to recall the great sacrifice that lies at the heart of our faith. How could we dare to call a time of desolation and loss "Good"? Join us as we acknowledge the darkness of this time, as we also wait for the coming joy of Easter.

On Thursday March 28th, First Congregational Church will host an Agape meal prior to our Maundy Thursday service.

Agape meals were a feature of the early church; a free meal, open to all, served with agape, or “charitable love.” These meals were one of the ways early Christians spread their message and aided their communities.

We will be holding a simple meal of soup, bread, cheese, nuts, and fruit, before our Maundy Thursday service.

Dinner begins at 5, the service will be held at 6, and a sign-up sheet for the various parts of the meal will be available in Fellowship Hall and online.

Lent is a special season in the life of the church, when Christians turn their attention to their individual walk with God. This Lent, we will be reading and discussing "Speaking of Sin" by Barbara Brown Taylor. This slim volume provides a wonderful overview of difficult concepts within our faith: sin, damnation, penance and repentance. By engaging with what these terms have meant, and what relevance those meanings have for our lives, we can better understand grace, forgiveness, and salvation.

Join us for our final session on Wednesday, March 13th at 12:30.

If you have any questions, please speak to Pastor Jon or the church office.

As Lent begins, we look inward. This special service is marked by prayer, meditation, and the imposition of ashes for all who wish to receive.

Love is at the heart of Christian life: it is how we understand ourselves, our relationship with God, and one another. As Valentine’s Day approaches, we hope that your spouse or partner will join us to reaffirm the promises we make to the ones we hold close.

Couples of all faiths welcome! A time of fellowship will follow with sweet and sparkling treats.

All church members are invited to join us on Sunday, January 28th following worship for our Annual Meeting.

Advent and Christmas can be a difficult time for those who have lost a loved one, those who are far from home, those who struggle with worry. Join us for a special service, as we gather on the longest night of the year. During this time of prayer and reflection, as we begin in darkness and move toward the light and hope that is the heart of our Advent season. All are welcome.
