The First Church in Hartland 

September 25 - October 1, 2026

Greetings!

Pastor Marilyn and our church family welcome you to join us for worship at 10 AM Sundays.

You'll find something meaningful every time you come to a service. Wherever you are on life's journey, you are welcome here!

Eighteenth Sunday after Pentecost


Theme: When Jesus left earth to return to his Father, he empowered his church with the Holy Spirit. Yet, churches today often forget this Person of the Godhead. Over the next several weeks, we will meet this Person in a new way and gain understanding of the gifts the Holy Spirit has given us. We will also have the opportunity to find out our own gifts! Come and be enlightened.


Sermon Title: “Who Is this Holy Spirit?”
