Daylight Saving Time begins this weekend, so remember to set your clocks one hour ahead before bed on Saturday night. While most phones and devices update automatically, double-check your appliances, car clocks, and manual watches. Enjoy the extra evening daylight!

The McMane Arts Ministry presents Michael Charron’s Catacomb Saints, tracing his journey from lapsed Catholic to New Thought idealist, to Mystic, and now to spiritual alchemist – transforming the symbols of his Catholic tradition into artistic gold. Drawing on symbolist and surrealist traditions, Charron excavates his inner shadow, unearthing startling and captivating artifacts that reveal both vulnerability and vision. Meet the artist and be in conversation with him.

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.

Join our FCC Knitting Group in support of the ICE protests, by purchasing a “Melt the Ice” hat or knitting one with us. All proceeds will go to support Casa de Paz, a Colorado-based immigration aid organization. This hat was worn in the 1940s by Norwegians as a form of visual protest against Nazi occupation of their country. Within two years, the Nazis made these protest hats illegal, and they are now a sign of resistance. Sign up here if you would like to purchase one or would like to help with knitting.
