First Congregational Church has partnered with the Birchwood Food Desert Fighters to combat the food desert that exists in the Birchwood neighborhood.

First Congregational Church is partnering with the League of Women Voters on October 6 to provide an opportunity to register and share information on key ballot issues and candidate forums.

October marks the 25th anniversary of our congregation becoming an Open and Affirming (ONA) congregation. We've got some special activities planned.

At our midyear annual meeting in July, First Congregational Church adopted a land acknowledgement. This was the culmination of much work and conversation.

Indigenous People’s Day (Orange Shirt Day) will be commemorated at the United Church of Ferndale on Sunday, Sept. 29th as part of their 10:30 worship service.

The Green Team's monthly focus for October is "Clean Up Your Environment." Everyone suffers when water and land are contaminated by garbage that's been improperly discarded. 

The Green Team's monthly focus for September is "Throw Away Less Food." According to the United Nations Action for a Healthy Planet, when you waste food, you're also wasting the resources and energy that were used to grow, produce, package, and transport it. Food rotting in a landfill produces methane, a powerful greenhouse gas.
