Calendar

Book Club is reading The Sweetness of Water by Nathan Harris this month. It’s “a historical page-turner about social friction so powerful it ignites a whole town.” Books are available for signing out from the church. (Check the Welcome Table.) The discussion gathering will be at a church member’s house on Friday April 28 at 1pm Please contact the church office for more information.

Please join the new Adult Ed class on Sunday mornings at 8:30am in the Fireside Room (started April 19). Cathedral on Fire by Brooks Berndt forms the basis of the discussion. It’s a look at the climate crisis and what unique and vitally needed gifts churches bring to this discussion. (Read a sample here.) You are welcome to this discussion even if you aren’t able to read the book!

First United Church of Arvada is open for in-person Worship in addition to offering our services over Zoom. For in-person services, masks are optional. If you feel more comfortable wearing a mask or are not feeling well, we encourage you to continue to wear a mask on Sunday mornings or join us via Zoom. Request Zoom link here.

The nursery is open.  Elementary age kids will be invited to leave the worship service partway through to attend Worship & Wonder.  Kids are always welcome in the sanctuary with you or, if you prefer, you can bring your child(ren) to the foyer and still participate in the service, but with some extra wiggle room.
