Worship Services
Welcome
First Congregational Church, fondly known as First Church, unites people of diverse beliefs, backgrounds and social circumstances around a common loyalty to Jesus, a common passion to serve the world and a common purpose: to love God with heart, soul, mind and strength, and our neighbors as ourselves. Our ideal is an open minded, warm hearted, spirit lifted church. We seek to express, in all dimensions of our life together, the mind and Spirit of Christ. We would love to have you join us.
Senior Pastor, Rev. Kevin M. Pleas

Worship Sunday
Our Sunday worship begins at 10am! Our Commissioned Minister, Barbara Papagian, will lead the worship service at 10:00am in the Sanctuary.
Prior to the 10:00am service, please enjoy the new Time of Greeting ... meet new friends and share fond memories before worship begins.
Sunday School is in full swing!
All children are invited to visit the Sunday School. Children attend the 10am worship service, then head to classes following "Time with God's Children".
Service of Prayer and Healing
Inspired by the Celtic Tradition, the roughly half-hour service will include music, readings, prayers and an opportunity to receive a “Laying on of Hands” blessing. Service will be held in the Chapel following the 10:00am worship service and fellowship, on the 2nd Sunday each month.
