Blessing of the Backpacks

Students and teachers of all ages are welcomed and invited to bring along their backpacks, messenger bags, or briefcases for a special blessing of students, teachers, administrators, staff, and backpacks to start the new school year during our 10:15AM worship service.

Grandparents Day

We will have prayers during worship, as we give thanks for grandparents today.

Holy Communion

This morning we will be celebrating in Holy Communion. For those who are communing from home, we invite you to have your own bread and wine or grape juice for the pastor to bless during the live stream worship service.

Our communion service includes the option of wine or grape juice. You do NOT need to be a member of First UCC or of the United Church of Christ to participate; we welcome all who profess Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior to share in this sacrament. If you have a food allergy/sensitivity related to wine/grape juice or bread, please contact the church office ahead of time, as we might be able to provide an alternative for you.

Season of Pentecost

Fifty days after the Easter Resurrection (ten days after the Ascension), the Holy Spirit came upon the disciples of Jesus Christ, giving birth to the Christian Church. Pentecost is the season of the church living out the mission of Jesus Christ; the season continues until Christ the King Sunday, which is celebrated the Sunday before Advent.
