We express our deepest sympathy as we remember Stephanie Corotis, who died on February 6. We hold her husband Ross, children Benjamin and Lindsay, and their families in our prayers. A Service of Thanksgiving for her life will be held in the Sanctuary on March 15 at 1:00 p.m., followed by a reception in Plymouth Hall. All are welcome to join in honoring her love, her life, and the light Stephanie shared with so many.

Is the grocery bag you got at church last Sunday full? Still shopping? Check this list of most items requested by the food pantries of Boulder County AIDS Project (BCAP) and Emergency Family Assistance Association (EFAA). This year we hope to collect a full two tons of food and household supplies. To do your part, contact your local coordinator, listed on the shopping list. Or bring donations to church this Sunday to put in the little red wagon. Questions? Contact Don Reed, Drive Leader.

With deep sadness, we share that our beloved friend and member, Danni Bangert, died early Wednesday morning (3/11/26). Danni was a member since November 30, 1975. She served as chair of numerous boards and committees, was very active in the Rocky Mountain Conference, and was a gifted potter. We hold her husband, Merv, daughters, and their families in our prayers. A Service of Thanksgiving for Danni’s Life will be held at First Cong later this Spring.

If you are new to the church and want to learn more about its programs and groups or if you’re a long-time member with knowledge to share, the Navigator Program can help! The Membership Committee will link new members with long-time members who will help them learn more about First Cong’s boards, committees, ministries, and small groups. Our goal is to integrate new members into our church community. For more information or to become part of the Navigators, contact Nancy Wade.

The LGBTQIA+ and Allies Group have designed a shirt with the phrase Love Is Love on the front and the First Cong logo on the back. We wanted to have a shirt we can wear to Boulder PRIDE, PRIDE Sunday, Open and Affirming (ONA) Sunday, and other events showing people that First Cong is a safe place to worship for ALL of God’s children. We are not raising funds but are just providing a way to give testimony to God’s love. If you would like to order a shirt, click here.
