Last week we shared the text of a message from our moderators, ahead of a video message they shared in worship on Sunday, April 18. Here is the video message they shared in worship.

The song, “Light of a Clear Blue Morning,” expresses what so many of us feel – that it’s been a long hard year, yet so many people pulled together at First Congregational to keep us going toward the new dawn ahead.  As your lay moderator team, we wanted to share some observations and reflections on what we have seen, experienced and where we are now as a faith community. 

Some workshop offerings from the wider community.

This is a creative time in community, chatting and creating with artist and facilitator, Lisa Thorpe. Bring lunch to this live zoom event and nibble away while Lisa demonstrates design and layout for your fabric collage.

March 31 was Transgender Day of Visibility. This video was shared by the Open and Affirming Coalition of the United Church of Christ.

We miss seeing you!  Help us gather pictures of our times together. Would you like to help supply pictures to make a library of photos? Arts in Worship has been asked to do some work on gathering pictures which could be used by staff in our Zoom Worship services.

In light of recent and ongoing events, it seems important to reflect on our individual concepts of racism.
