First Congregational Church

Worship  with us each Sunday at 10:00 a.m. We observe Communion the first Sunday of the month, in addition to special services on Ash Wednesday and Maundy Thursday.  Our table is open to all.

Children worship the first Sunday of each month in Minturn Chapel at 10:00 p.m., then come to join in the Communion portion of worship in the main sanctuary with their families.   Each of the other Sundays in the month, children are part of worship from the beginning through “A Time For Discovery” with the pastor, then move to Sunday School activities.  Children participate as acolytes, and share roles as liturgists (readers) with their parents in worship.

Taizé Worship (Minturn Chapel)  the first Monday of each month, 7:30 p.m.

Monthly mid-week Service of Word and Sacrament, the fourth Tuesday of each month, 2:00 p.m. in Minturn Chapel.

Special seasonal worship includes:

• Longest Night/Blue Christmas (Minturn Chapel), 4:00 p.m.
• Christmas Eve, 9:00 p.m.
• Ash Wednesday, 7:00 p.m.
• Maundy Thursday, 7:00 p.m.
• Good Friday Prayer Watch (Minturn Chapel),  12 noon to 3:00 p.m.

The richness of music is an essential part of our worship at First Congregational Church, featuring the Casavant Pipe Organ, our grand piano, the Chancel Choir, and the Hand Bell Choir as regular participants.  We are also blessed with numerous musicians within the church, who augment our musical expressions through contemporary, classical, and jazz venues.
