BRUNCH CHURCH AT 10:30 AM


Christmas has inspired some of the world’s most memorable children’s literature. Join us as we read aloud the classic story of The Christmas Miracle of Jonathan Toomey as well as Jesus’ Christmas Party, a tale that brings the innkeeper to life. Our String Ensemble plus Flutes will play Christmas favorites, Marj and Dean Fowler will offer a duet, and we’ll all sing some of favorite carols. Brunch in Plymouth Hall includes Frittatas, fruit, gluten-free treats, and cinnamon rolls!

 

Online at 10:30 AM, we warmly invite you to watch a concert of the best of Advent and Christmas music offered by First Cong’s choirs, soloists, and instruments.After Sunday morning, the video will be available to enjoy anytime!

Together, We Rise - Stewardship 2025

The season of Epiphany is also Stewardship Season for our church, the time when we gather our financial pledges for the coming year. Watch your mail in early January for a large envelope of materials from the Stewardship Team, including a set of weekly devotionals written by church members. Join us for worship all month long and for a fun-filled Forum on January 12, at 9:15 AM, as we reflect on what it means for us to Rise Together as First Congregational Church.
