Sunday Worship Plans

Join us for worship this Sunday at 9 am at First United as we reflect on the sermon, "Zealous For What is RIght." Drawing from Acts of the Apostles 17:22-31 and First Epistle of Peter 3:13-22, we'll consider what it means to pursue righteousness with courage, humility, and a clear witness in a complex world. Hope you are able to join us! See you there!

Sunday School Begins at 10:30 am

*Pre-K to 2nd graders (Room 4 - the Library)

*3rd to 5th graders (Room 6 - downstairs)

*6th to 12th grade Youth (Youth Room)

Adult Sunday School

Week 4: The Essentials Tenets

This week, we focus on Covenant Life in the Church - what it means to belong to Christ's body and live faithfully with one another under His lordship. Together, we'll explore how the Church is more than a building - it is a covenant community shaped by grace, truth, and mutual commitment. Join us for a meaningful and practical discussion at 10:30 am in the K-Lounge following worship. All are welcome!

Youth Group Activities

Following worship, join our Coffee Fellowship Time in the Family Life Center. You can also support our youth activities by visiting our monthly Youth Coffee Shop & Bake Sale in the Gathering Area. Also, if you love to bake and want to donate anything, please drop them off in the Gathering Area before worship. Please let Pastor Meggan or Scott McPherson know if you can help bake or help sell goodies.

Youth Group will meet this Sunday from 6-7:30 pm. We are still working on the "end date" so stay tuned for more information in the near future. Hope to see you there!

On Saturday (5/9) the Confirmation group will head to Pastor Dominic and Nikki's Ranch for a special program "Rebellion-Ranch-Ride-Restoration" from 2pm-6pm.

Mark you Calendars!! All Good Things Must Come to an End...

Confirmation: Thirteen of our youth have been working diligently to prepare for their Confirmation during worship on Sunday (5/31). The Confirmation Class will meet for its last "official" class this Sunday (5/3) after youth group from 7:30-8:15 pm. Great job attending classes, serving, memorizing, writing, reflecting and deepening your commitment to Christ and seeking to join the church!

Sunday School: Kids, youth, and adults will wrap up on Sunday (5/10). Thanks to all who have faithfully attended and taught throughout the year. Pastors Luke and Meggan, Mark DeCleene, Cori Marinan, Sarah McPherson, Scott McPherson, Jameson O'Brien, and Debbie Spiegel. With just a few Sundays left, make it a priority to attend.

We Honor Them

As we approach Memorial Day (5/25), our Deacons would like to honor those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice serving our country in the Armed Forces. Also, if you have any family members or extended family members currently serving our nation, please provide these names as well as will be honoring those individuals for Armed Forces Day (5/16). Please get your information to Debbie Spiegel (debbielou333@gmail.com) or to the church office before Monday (5/18), so that we can include both lists in a special insert for the following Sunday (5/24).

Join Us For A Spot of Tea!

On Saturday (5/30), join us for an English Tea Party at 2pm. We will enjoy some tasty treats, an inspirational message from Pastor Luke Farwell, and you can try your luck at the raffles. Tickets will go on sale this Sunday (5/3) after worship in the Gathering Area. You can also call the office or purchase at the door. Tickets are $10 per person. Proceeds will go to Wilson's Wish, a non-profit animal sanctuary. BRING YOUR OWN TEACUP!

Looking for a Booyah Sale?

St. Anne’s Episcopal Church (one of our partners in the D.P.C.O. Christmas Store) is holding a Booyah Fundraiser on Saturday (5/9) and Sunday (5/10).
