Gifts, Bequests and Memorials
Many of us have reached points in our lives where we have firmly surpassed the ability to provide for our own basic needs, and we have started thinking seriously about how we can share our blessings with others. After “finding ourselves,” raising our children, and achieving professional success, we begin to ponder what we will leave behind when our time in this world is over. What more can we do now, and what can we do upon passing, that will honor our loved ones and First Church?

Worship This Sunday
Join us this Sunday for worship! Our Senior Pastor, Rev. Kevin Pleas, will lead the worship service at 9:30am in the Sanctuary. This week's sermon is titled "To Believe or Not to Believe". The reading is from John 14:8-11.
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 9:30am worship service and fellowship, on the 2nd Sunday each month.
