  Celebration! Choir rehearsal following Worship

Celebration! Choir rehearsals resume for the fall on Sunday, September 1. Rehearsals are after the worship service on Sunday mornings. Contact Sue Wedaa with any questions (or if you are interested in playing handbells!)

We will discuss whatever is of interest to you–perhaps a new topic each week! You are invited to attend anytime or every time. Example topics: Did Rev. Howe’s reference to “The Book of Mary” in her guest sermon pique your interest? Would you like to know more about the Apocrypha? Are there any Christians in Israel or on the West Bank? What are the ballot issues we will be voting on in November? How can I talk with friends about this election? The UCC Church is spoken of as a “peace and justice” church – Do they take a public stand on important issues?
THESE ARE JUST IDEAS! Join us at 8:30am Sunday mornings for discussion and fellowship!

Every quarter we’re offering a Q&A with Pastor Karin Kilpatric, when you can bring your questions about First United and the larger UCC church. The next one is on Sunday, September 8 following worship. Please submit questions ahead of time to either Pastor Karin or Kathy Hine in the church office. There are question forms on the Welcome Table or you can fill out this online form.
