The Mission and Justice Board is focusing on the intersectionality of housing, food security, and health in considering economic justice action during the 2021-2022 program year. The Interfaith Coalition is a long-time First Congregational Church partner.

As autumn begins, we are starting up our Wednesday faith formation gatherings again. Faith Formation for Families and Adult Forums will begin Wednesday, September 15.

Dear Church, As I write this it’s the morning of the first day of school for the Bellingham School District.

The Faith Formation Board invites families of all sizes, shapes and configurations to join us for a fun Zoom meeting Sunday, September 12 at 2:00 pm.

Dear First Congregational Church Members and Friends:
We, together, are amazing. We are worshipping together, we are finding ways to connect despite every challenge, we are engaged in social justice in our community and in the world, we are feeding God’s children and their children, we are learning and growing our extravagant welcome – all these things, AND COVID variants, numbers, and cases are skyrocketing in our community, country and world.

Here are some photos from the August 21 pantry drive. It was a huge success! Thank you for supporting this effort.

We continue to hear positive things from participants! "I came depleted  and I left revived."  "It was so meaningful spending time talking about things that matter to people I have missed being with this year"

For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,  nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. -Romans 8:38-39
