Summer naturally invites us to kick back a little, adjust for the heat a lot, and relax. Summer worship can too!
There are so many reasons to do worship a little differently in the summer:
Beginning July 3, we will gather for worship in the Fellowship Hall at our regular time (yes we will still livestream!). We will worship around the Word, around tables, and have the opportunity to discuss together how the scriptures are speaking to us. Our goal is to relax – into the Word, into each other, into fellowship with God. Join us!

The Design Team is churning away. Dedicated folks are working tirelessly to look creatively at the real barriers FCC is facing as it looks toward the future. They are answering questions like, “how do we deal with our financial situation? How might we leverage our building for future success? How do we stay focused and rowing in the same direction?”
These are great questions. But there is much more to do. But, we can walk and chew gum at the same time! Let’s begin talking about the church profile that a team will eventually need to prepare in order to call your next pastor.
Join Pastor Becky for a review of the church profile and what questions FCC needs to be able to answer before the profile can be drafted.

The Strengthen the Church (STC) Offering reflects the shared commitment of people across the United Church of Christ to cooperatively build up the UCC. Conferences and
the national setting equally share the gifts given by members and friends through their local congregations. The funds raised support leadership development, new churches, youth ministry, and innovation in existing congregations. By your generosity to this offering, you build up the Body of Christ.
In addition to Our Church’s Wider Mission (Basic Support), the United Church of Christ has 4 Special Mission Offerings (SMOs). These offerings exist to allow congregations and individuals to meet people at points of critical need in their lives. Though many options exist for direct, individual support of these needs, the SMOs allow a common witness and make a collective positive impact. Our church has identified four areas where these critical human needs exist:
We believe these SMOs collectively serve to lift people closer to the abundance and wholeness to which Jesus Christ has called us to work together to bring about. Join the other 1,000 churches that have made the decision to become 5 for 5 congregations, supporting OCWM and all four of the Special Mission Offerings.
