Message
who journeyed in search of a new life. How was your
family’s journey similar to Mary and Joseph’s? How was
it different? Then we’ll all share a potluck lunch and sing a few carols.
Two thousand years after Mary and Joseph traveled to Bethlehem, we’ll share their journey. We’ll hear and tell stories of our ancestors, our Christmas traditions and what we each need in order to feel like we have found our home during the holidays. We might even sing Perry Como’s hit song!
Merry Christmas!
— Rev. Pam
Christmas Poinsettias
First Church has a long tradition of placing poinsettias on the altar during the Christmas season which are donated in memory of loved ones, or in celebration of anniversaries, birthdays, etc. Print and fill out the online form and your sentiments will be included in the bulletin at the service of worship for the last Sunday in Advent and the three services of worship on Christmas Eve.
A donation of $15.00 is requested
for each plant. All forms must be in
the church office by December 12.
Poinsettias are delivered to the
home bound and nursing home
residents after Christmas.
