The Full Circle Blog

  • What’s going on? What feels big or important or meaningful to you right now? What’s happening in your life that is taking up space in your head/heart?


  • Each Wednesday at 9:00 am (Greene’s Corner) and 7:00 pm (Rm. 32 at church). Bridge 141 is the group holding space for our congregation to look to our past and future as a faith community, but it’s the whole congregation—YOU!—who will listen to the Spirit and lead us in our restructuring endeavor.


  • Save the Date - June 2, Undoing Racism Walk: Dr. Josh Cerretti, WWU historian, will be leading an Undoing Racism Walk, looking at Bellingham’s racial history “from below.” 


  • Introducing Bridge 141. In February, the congregation voted unanimously to approve the creation of a Restructuring Task Force. Since then, six of us have met, prayed, laughed, struggled, learned, and reflected.


  • It is our pleasure to introduce First Congregational Church’s 2024 recipients of the Debra Kay Pehrson Scholarship Award. Because a scholarship has not been given the last several years, the Called to Care Team (on behalf of the Board of Trustees) selected two candidates to receive awards this year.


  • Earth Day in Hawaii Comes to Whatcom County: Hawaii’s Kanaka movement and the Lummi Nation are inviting us to a Prayer Service in celebration of Earth Day. 


  • The Green Team hopes to help our faith community focus on just one or two items or ideas you and/or your family can try each month: to reduce our carbon footprint; suggest ideas for what you can specifically do; reinforce our monthly ritual in Worship; bring hope to our efforts individually and together on Climate Justice. The April focus is: Walk, bike or take public transport.
