Advent 2024
Breakfast Worship!
This coming Sunday, November 17, the Church Council will host breakfast during 10:00 am worship to thank God for the gifts you—members and friends of First Congregational UCC—share with your church. Your support is how a volunteer organizing thrives. Bring your re-covenanting sheet and pledge page to be blessed in community (many of you have already sent them in, thank you!), knowing that each of our parts add to a greater whole. If you worship in the Bigger Balcony, consider joining Zoom this week rather Facebook, so you can interact with others during the “table sharing” times. Contact the office for the Zoom link, or see the Friday Announcement email.
Our theme this week is Church: Now More than Ever. We know that what our faith community offers to Bellingham, Whatcom County, and beyond is not replicated in many places; proclamation of Christ’s justice-seeking and compassion-living teachings doesn’t happen in every church; our voices of welcome and care are needed in our world at this very moment and into 2025. All of us, coming together with the Holy Spirit in that work, makes a difference.
What do you need from your faith community now more than ever? Come to hear and share and eat and care.
If you haven’t yet filled a financial pledge or re-covenanting, those forms are available on the blog. Thanks be to God for Christ’s witness. Thanks be to God for faith community. Thanks be to God for you! Amen.
