Dear Friends,
I often think about my childhood church with a grateful heart. I was blessed with a strong and faithful church community filled with people who were loving, dedicated and hopeful.
At First Church, we try to create a community where all children of God know they are valued and loved. This Sunday our insightful, enthusiastic and caring children will lead our worship service! Some might say, “Oh, our kids are leading worship, I don’t need to go…” Don’t be one of those people! 😊 It will be joyful and inspiring, and I guarantee you will smile a lot knowing that our church is alive with God’s Spirit and love!
After the service, we have an Ice Cream Social at church, and we hope you will join us! Then come visit us at the Glastonbury Pride Festival! Our church is one of the sponsors of the festival, and faithful church volunteers and your pastors will be at our table from 2:00-6:00 p.m. on Hubbard Green. First Church is proud to be an open, welcoming and affirming congregation!
Also, we invite you to bring in diapers and wipes for families in need starting this Sunday and ending on June 21.
Sunday will be a wonderful day, and we hope you can join us for worship for our one service at 10:00 a.m. in the Meetinghouse or online.
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.
I’m grateful that our church community is one of inclusivity, compassion, hope and gratitude.
Blessings,
Kate
Our First Church family of faith enjoys worshipping together, and we hope you will join us! During the summer (June 21 through September 6), we will have one service at 9:30 am in the Meetinghouse and livestreamed (and services are also available for viewing later).
