The Strengthen the Church offering supports the expansion of ministry and growth of UCC local congregations. Your support of this offering will help the UCC fulfill on its commitment to creating a just world for all by investing in new ministries and practices that meet the emerging needs of local communities.
As God calls our congregations to be the church in new ways, your generosity will plant new churches, awaken new ideas in existing churches and develop the spiritual life in our youth and young adults. 
Pentecost Sunday
Pentecost will be celebrated on Sunday, May 20. As a tradition at our church, a covered dish meal will follow the worship service. Church women will provide ham, chicken and beverages. Covered dishes of all types are needed as well as desserts. Please make plans to join us for this special yearly event and enjoy this time of fellowship with your church family. |

“No matter who you are or where you are on life’s journey you are welcome here.” At First UCC this is more than a catch phrase; it’s who we are. If you are just wondering about God and want to learn more you are welcome here. It you have been a believer your whole life, you are welcome here. If you have questions, you are welcome here. If you are young or old, or somewhere in the middle, you are welcome here. If you haven’t fit in anywhere else, you are welcome here! No matter who you are, you are welcome here!
We are a bunch of seekers on a journey. We learn together and we serve together. We believe that God is love and that all persons are created in God’s own image. We are people from all walks of life with varied life experiences doing our best to live out God’s love in the world. So truly “No matter who you are or where you are on life’s journey you are welcome here.” Educational opportunities start at 9:30AM and worship follows at 11:00AM |
