They are working diligently to bring in the last group of pledges. We are grateful, grateful, grateful for the generosity of the faithful in this fabulous church. Thank you and stay tuned for the results at the March 1 Congregational meeting. The news will be good!

The Central College Choir, (50 voices) will give a concert at 5 pm and then spend the night. FCC is providing dinner before the concert. We

are looking for families who can provide overnight accommodations, breakfast on Wednesday, and rides back to the church. Most likely, the students will prefer to be housed in pairs. To sign up as a host family, contact David Skaggs To help out with the coordinating/preparing the pre-concert dinner, contact Joanne O’Keefe Thank you in advance!

For years, many in our congregation who serve on Boards, Committees, or Ministries have used the ChurchLife App to find contact information for various people in the church. However, since our move over to Realm (onrealm.org), the ChurchLife App has not been updated. Going forward, if you would like the most up to date Online directory, simply follow the instructions here.

If you’d like to cook a meal, send a note or card to encourage someone, or give someone a ride, sign up to receive the  Trains of First Cong email list. Information about the MEAL, CARE, AND RIDE  trains can

be found on our website  here.

If you have a recurring pledge payment set up in your FCC Realm account, be sure to edit the payment amount to your new pledge amount. You will also need to change the fund paid from “2019 Annual Budget”

to “2020 Annual Budget” so your current payments will be credited

to pay THIS year’s pledge!
