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).
