Moderator's May Message

Hello!

What an amazing April we experienced at First Congregational United Church of Christ!
We had the opportunity to be the host church for Lenton services this year.  Thank you to everyone that helped each Wednesday leading up to Easter. 
How about our confirmands leading the Palm Sunday worship service and then expressing their desire to solidify their faith and commitment to the church this past Sunday (April 27)? It was a very moving service to see Ella, Sophia, Allie, Madalyn and Braydon stand in front of the church to experience the confirmation passage.  They truly are amazing young individuals and I look forward to watching them grow in their spiritual journey.

What is in store for May?
Our church book club is organizing an event on May 10th at 10:00 am.  Lee Gabel, Co-director of Freedom’s Haven and a former retired US Army Colonel, will be talking about the immigration status of the Ukrainian families and the Ukrainian/Russian war.  There will be a Q & A session at the end of the event.  Please stay tuned for more details.  I hope you will consider attending.
Since it is May, it is time for our annual spring clean-up Saturday.  We are planning on May 17 from 9:00 am to noon. Please consider coming to help clean up our beautiful church inside and out!

I hope everyone has a wonderful May!

Love to all,

Susan
