DAILY REFLECTIONS
At First Congregational we offer two opportunities for daily reflections on God's work in our lives. The first is through the small devotional 60 Days of Prayer, these small booklets can be found in the sanctuary and are ideal for personal prayers. Additionally, as part of the United Church of Christ the UCC Daily Devotionals provide relevant, spiritually moving reflections on contemporary life.

THE MICAH PROJECT
The prophet Micah asks what is required of us; the respond in chapter 6 verse 8 is to act justly, love mercy and walk humbly with our God. The Micah Project offers monthly opportunities to study and reflect on areas of social / societal injustice and how our faith speaks to these contemporary issues. These conversations are free and open to all.
