Our current Treasurer is ready to move on from that position and serve our congregation in other ways. If you’re interested in serving as Treasurer, or think you might be, we’d love to hear from you.

Dear NWYS Community,

We are writing to tell you that we’re entering a new phase in our organization’s transition that started a year ago.

The First Congregational Church Intergenerational Orchestra will share music again in worship on October 12.

The Called to Care team is presenting two workshops: Sept. 21 Advance Care Planning and Sep. 28 Planning a Memorial Service.

From Judgement to Curiosity: Building Bridges in Conflict- October Workshop Series: The first cohort was so successful we are offering a second one in October. 

Upcoming Book Group reading: Becoming a Good Relative: Calling White Settlers toward Truth, Healing, and Repair by Hilary Giovale. Tuesdays September 16 and 30 at 1:00 p.m. for about an hour in the Fireplace room. Join us as we continue discussing of the author’s story of her awakening awareness of her own whiteness.

Each of us has times when we are lonely, grieving, hurt, or in need of care. In his second letter to the Corinthians, Paul writes that when we suffer and are troubled, we find comfort through Christ (2 Corinthians 1:4–6)—and one of the ways we find this comfort is through other caring Christians.

We are reconvening our Grandparent Group and invite you all to join us for another year of support and fellowship as we continue to negotiate our grandparenting journeys. We will continue to meet every second Thursday from 10:00-11:30 am in the Fireplace Room. All are welcome!
