Our music program has long been recognized for its superior quality. The Chancel Choir, which is composed of adults, sings on Sundays during worship and rehearses following the service. Our choir members not only create beautiful music, but also enjoy the fellowship and spiritual benefits that singing in a choir provides. All are welcome to join. For more information, contact David Lornson, Director of Music.
Lenten Series
During the spring, First Congregational Church hosts a weekly series of Lenten dinners. These evening programs include the sharing of a meal and a study/discussion led by our minister. Childcare is provided.
Family Ministries
The church sponsors activities throughout the year that are geared to members of all ages. Typical events include movie nights, stories by the hearth, Halloween pumpkin carving, Christmas wreath making and Easter egg dyeing. All church members and friends - young and old - are welcome to attend.
Social Events
Each year, we look forward to social events that provide us with the opportunity for fun and fellowship. Annual highlights include the Christmas Potluck, New Members Dinner, Church Picnic and Rally Day - the official beginning of the church school year.
Book Group
This ongoing group meets monthly in the Church House. The Sunday bulletin provides information on the book to be discussed and the date and time of the meeting. All are welcome to attend.
