Guests
We invite you to visit our church to experience our congregation’s warmth and style of worship! Here is information to answer the questions you may have when you plan to visit First Congregational. If you would like more information, please contact our church office.
Our Sunday worship services start at 10:00 a.m. year-round, with the exception of 3 Sunday services during the summer months that are replaced by Saturday evening services that begin at 5 pm. Please see our church calendar for more details.
Our worship services usually last about an hour. Our services include congregational hymn singing, pipe organ and piano music, prayers, scripture readings, and a message from the pastor. Our worship services emphasize deepening our relationship to God, following Jesus, and serving others. We use both printed materials and sanctuary projection to aid in our worship experience. While our services generally follow a traditional format, we are relaxed in worship and enjoy humor and spontaneity. Dress is informal—come as you are!
Once a month, usually the first Sunday of the month, we share the Sacrament of Holy Communion. You do not have to be a member of our church to share communion with us. In fact, we welcome all who wish to join us, including children.
Following worship we enjoy gathering for coffee and refreshments in Fellowship Hall—you are welcome to join us!
Children are always welcome at First Congregational UCC! We encourage parents to allow their children to be full participants in the worship services. There are activity bags for children to use during the service, and a cry room is available next to the sanctuary in the East Chapel.
