This Sunday's Service


This Sunday we consider the last of the four core values of First Congregational Church, openness. As our founding members declared in 1955, "let us build an open church." The challenge of being open to those who society has shunned has been a constant over the years at FCC. As we have opened our doors and our hearts to those of different ethnic backgrounds and sexual orientations, how do we continue to practice the value of openness as a faith community in the 21st century? These are thoughts to ponder as we journey through the long days of summer! Come and share the journey and share your thoughts and perspectives on this timely question.
This Sunday Melissa Fristche will sing Love Ye the Lord (Largo) by George Frederic Händel, then she will be joined by KeiCee Newton for The Voice of My Beloved Sounds from Melodious Accord by Alice Parker. Our congregational hymns will be God of Grace and God of Laughter (SOUTH BRANCH); Blessed Be the Tie That Binds (DENNIS); and Called as Partners in Christ's Service
(BEECHER).
