SUMMER BOOK SERIES

June, July, and August:  Discussions held the last week of the month at 7:00pm by Rev. Holly MillerShank

​

Join FCC in discovering new insights into faith and the environment from three distinct books. Borrow from the library, your e-reader, from your favorite local bookstore or online used book vendor – each of these authors will bring a unique perspective on God’s relationship with creation and humanity’s response.

All are welcome. We'll meet outside, weather permitting. Bring a lawn chair.

MORNING MEDITATION

All are welcome to join our weekly meditation group on Tuesdays at 8am in the Youth Room. Whether you have practiced for years or never meditated before, give yourself this gift of a half hour to start your day in peace and God's love. Have a question or need more information? Contact the church office at (508) 845-7286.

Looking for a few minutes of peace and quiet?

Come enjoy a cool drink, your lunch, or a book in the newly created Garden of Peace, located outside the church by the kitchen steps. The bench under the kitchen window is the perfect spot for a moment of relaxation and rejuvenation!​

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 response in chapter 6 verse 8 is to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with our God. The Micah Project offers 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.
