Summer Fun


Join Pastor Caela and other friends from First Congregational for some fun on the town this summer. Stop by for conversation or prayer. Grab a quick blessing on your way somewhere else or stay for a spell. Upcoming opportunities to connect:

🎶 Tuesday, June 6, 7:30 p.m. Municipal Band concert at City Park band shell (bring a camp chair if you'd like to be comfy)

☕️ Tuesday, July 11, 8:30-10:00 a.m. at Arrow Coffee (enjoy a beverage, snack, or breakfast)

🍽 Wednesday, Aug. 30, 5:00-6:30 p.m. at Tallgrass Taphouse (enjoy a beverage, snack, or early dinner)

T-Shirt Time!


It's time to update your wardrobe with some First Congregational gear! This summer we're rolling out a couple of t-shirt options - wahoo! CLICK HERE to view the various styles and place your order today. You can pay online or select "pay later" to drop off a check in the office. You can also just call the church office to place your order.

We are asking for a minimum $20 donation per t-shirt but if the cost is prohibitive, please let Pastor Caela know. The design uses art from our summer Compassion Camp for all ages but is also just a great way to show your First Congregational pride!

Adult t-shirts are 100% ring-spun cotton and available in adult unisex sizes (S-XXL). Kids' t-shirts are a cotton-poly blend available in youth sizes (XS-XL). Samples of the adult shirts are available in the office.

Act fast - the order deadline is June 25th.

Speak with the Earth....


...and it will teach you.

"I don't think it is enough appreciated how much an outdoor book the Bible is," wrote Wendell Berry. Join us this summer for a sermon series inspired by Speak with the Earth and it Will Teach You by UCC pastor, Rev. Daniel Cooperrider. This book takes us on a journey through rivers, trees, mountains, and clouds to read God's "first testament" - nature.

Join us Sundays at 10:45 a.m. in person or via Zoom for this series.

This week we give thanks for...
those who volunteer with our youth ministries. Pastor Caela regularly reaches out to adults in the congregation to ask for helpers with various events - and almost always gets a "yes!" We are grateful for those folks who show an interest in the lives of our teens and spend time with them in this way.

Thank you for Being the Church!
