We've gotten a special invitation from our neighbors at Beth Israel to attend a community education class. It seems that nearly every month there is another Jewish holiday, and each year they arrive at different times. What are some of these holy days and how are they relevant in today’s world? In this three session course, students will gain an understanding of both the major and minor holiday observances in the Jewish calendar.

There is still time to register for this year's in-person Men's Retreat. We'll meet at Pilgrim Firs the weekend of February 3-5, 2023. The topic is “Gratitude and Practices to Enhance Gratefulness”. In the spirit of a back-to-normal retreat, there will be music, singing, a wisdom circle and an optional silent retreat Thursday evening (February 2) to begin the weekend.

Coming in February, a two-day workshop on living and dying well. All are welcome to attend here at First Congregational Church. 

Registration is open for the 25th Annual Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Human Rights Conference.

The Covenant Groups will begin meeting next week! Covenant Groups are groups of 6-10 people that meet to discuss issues of faith. The groups meet for just 7 sessions, so it is not a longterm commitment, but they provide an opportunity to get to know other people in the church and to discuss issues of faith. The theme this year is “The Art of Practicing Your Faith.”
