The next Book Club read is the 2025 Pulitzer Prize-winning James by Percival Everett. It’s a reimagining of “Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” told from the enslaved Jim’s point of view. We will meet to discuss it on Friday, November 7 at 1pm. There is no Book Kit for this one. For information, contact the Church Office.

Please gather with us starting at 8:30am, with the morning’s discussion beginning at 8:45am.

The Mouse House Christmas Shop is a tradition here at First United where kids can buy items for family members for only a quarter or two, each! The items are all donated by our congregation. Mouse House will be after the church service on Dec 14th.

If you have any items you think kids would enjoy giving to their family members (or friends), bring them in by December 7. We’re looking for very gently used items or new items (for anything like lotions or candles, etc.). We are also taking donations of gift bags and tissue paper. Items can be anything that you think a child would like to purchase for a family member. Christian Ed will donate proceeds to an organization in need. We are also looking for volunteers to help the kids shop and to wrap the gifts with/for the kids. Contact the Church Office if you are available to help!
