Help the kids of Boulder’s FLC get a good start for the new school year! From June 29-July 13 we will be collecting school supplies like notebooks, pencils, pens, crayons, markers, and more to fill backpacks for students. Here is a full list of school supplies needed. Support this effort by writing a check to First Congregational Church with “Backpacks” in the memo or giving electronically. Donations of supplies accepted in the Link.

Help create July 20 Brunch Church – we urgently need cook-at-home volunteers and set up and cleanup folks! A favorite event in First Cong's summer schedule, Brunch Church brings us to Plymouth Hall to worship together around a meal of baked frittatas, coffee cake, and fruit. We need your help to make it happen by baking (easy recipes we provide), bringing a fruit bowl, arranging tables, chairs, and place settings, or cleaning up afterwards (under expert direction). Go now to our Sign-Up page to let us know how you want to help.
