Inspired, encouraging, serving and seeking… Together in life’s joys and challenges… Making a difference! 

Amy Weston Kane's Ecclesiastical Council.

Sunday, January 12, at 3pm.

at First Church Congregational UCC, 63 S Main St., Rochester, NH.

Dear Church, next Sunday 12th January, Amy will be examined by an EC of her local UCC denomination association as to her fitness and readiness for ordination and ministry.

Amy served as our intern for two years before and at the start of Covid. She served us beautifully and powerfully and has been a guest preacher in the following seasons.

Pastor Ian is going up to support her and if anyone else would like to join in this please let him know.
