ANNOUNCEMENTS
Welcome to First Congregational Church! We invite visitors to sign the Guest Book and join us for refreshments after worship. We also have an infant room, with a changing table, crib and comfortable rocker on the lower level. If you need those facilities during worship, an usher will be happy to escort you.
The rose in the chancel is a “peace rose.” It symbolizes our prayers for peace in a troubled world.
The chancel flowers are given by Ruth Robinson in memory of her grandson Karl.
The lay reader today is Joe Page.
You are welcomed and seated today by Nancy Anderson, Bernice Valantinas, Jeff Roseberry and Nick Tucker.
The greeter this morning is Laurie Brown.
You are invited to join the virtual prayer circle at First Congregational Church. It is a wonderful way to develop a richer prayer life and stay connected to the needs of those in our congregation and around us. An e-mail is sent around weekly or so with a list of people to pray for and a suggested prayer for the week. If you are interested in being part of the church's virtual prayer circle or if you have a prayer concern you would like to offer up, please send a note to joysandconcerns@gmail.com. We want to respect privacy so we ask that you seek a person's permission before offering up their needs for prayer. We look forward to hearing from you! Pam Daniels, Prayer Circle Coordinator
Join the Parade. The CROP Walk Volunteers are making a small float to pull in the walk this fall. We are working on the papier mache and decorations each Sunday this summer after worship. The theme every year is We Walk Because They Walk. We are making large pieces of food and one-dimensional figures of children from around the world. Our church name and LOGO will also appear. A young man from Inter-Faith Action Council will be helping. You don't have to be an artist! Parents to help with construction activities and design, etc would be very welcome. Contact Laura Wilson with your ideas and Elmer’s glue.
Think Green! Check out our big, green frog in the Narthex for tips on conservation. How about using cloth bags instead of plastic when you go out shopping? Free tote bags with the frog. Faith and Public Issues
Thank you to Rev. Nan Conser for leading us in worship today.
Thanks to Sheran Fiedler, Kingsely Day and Andy Nelson for sharing their music with us today.
Today’s service includes three movements from the Suite for Flute and Piano by French composer and jazz pianist Claude Bolling. Born in 1930, Bolling has written scores for more than 100 films and has released numerous recordings as a performer and composer. His seven-movement Suite for Flute and Piano (1973) was written for classical flutist Jean-Pierre Rampal, and their recording of the work became a best-seller.
