Spiral Garden
Posted by Admin Asst on Nov 28, 2025 in Uncategorized | 0 commentsSunday Dec 7, 4pm–Spiral Garden
We’ll have a Spiral Garden of Fresh Evergreen boughs in in the Common Earth Community Garden open space on Sunday, December 7, at 4 pm (for about 30 to 45 minutes). If you have cut greenery that we can use, please bring it that morning before worship. Anyone who is interested in helping set up the spiral, we will do that right after worship that morning. Children, youth and families will be invited to walk the Spiral one at a time (like a labyrinth walk), lighting a candle in the middle and setting it along the path on the spiral walk out. There will be flute music in the background by Sue Wedaa. This is a time for quiet reverence. Cookies and cider follow inside!

Mouse House
Posted by Admin Asst on Dec 7, 2025 in Uncategorized | 0 commentsDecember’s Mouse House Christmas Shop, gathering items
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. So, if YOU have any items you think kids would enjoy giving to their family members (or friends), start collecting them now to bring in by December 7. Mouse House will be Dec 14 after the worship service. 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 help at the wrapping table. Contact the Church Office if you are available to help!
