Dear Friends,
Growing up we took many road trips that were filled with talking, playing games (alphabet sign game, anyone? 🙂) and singing. My children love music, too, and we often listen to their favorite songs while driving. Many times my children sing together, and recently Lucas put on a Tom Chapin song while we were on the way to my sister's house. You all have heard me talk about Tom Chapin and how much we love his music. It was one of our favorite songs, and my Dad, Andrew, Lucas and I sang along. It reminded me of my childhood and of why I love to sing with other people.
Each week we have the opportunity to worship together. Join us this Sunday at 9:30 a.m. in the Meetinghouse or online. We have childcare and church school available.
The bulletin, large print bulletin and announcement slides are available on our website. You can watch any of our livestreamed or recorded services on our YouTube channel.
On Sunday, I will share a story about one-day choirs, a movement that is growing in popularity. As one participant in a recent one-day choir in Los Angeles shared, "People are hungry for opportunities to make music, but they’re also hungry for opportunities to connect with other people."
We all long to feel connected and purposeful. I'm grateful we belong to a community where we are part of something bigger than ourselves and connect with God and one another.
Come on Sunday, and together we will listen, connect, give thanks, pray and sing!
Take care,
Kate
Our First Church family of faith enjoys worshipping together, and we hope you will join us! During summer, we have one service at 9:30 am in the Meetinghouse and livestreamed (and services are also available for viewing later).
