Dear Church,

I have good news about our continuing relationship with Northwest Youth Services. As many of you know, First Congregational is proud to host The Ground Floor, a daytime program space for young people experiencing homelessness, in a beautiful, custom-built space under our sanctuary. Young people can access housing and other support services, as well as basic care like showers, a place to take a nap, simple food and more.

We can work toward climate justice in small and large ways. Find out more in this blog post.

People often ask, "What exactly is a Stephen Minister?" One way to put it is that Stephen Ministers are the After People.

This week's news from our Mission & Justice Board.

A message from Pastor Sharon about our theme for Lent.

On March 2, which is Ash Wednesday, we will begin our discussion of Jim Antal’s book, Climate Church, Climate World. Here is a rough reading & discussion schedule.

The Mission and Justice board, in conjunction with the Faith Formation board would like to invite you to participate in a March 26 pantry drive in support of the Birchwood Food Desert Fighters.
