REFLECTIONS

The community conversations are beginning around worship.  We have appointed teams to begin planning our Common worship for the summer.  These teams consist of people from the New Creation worship team and the Traditional worship team.  Along with the staff we will work to guide the congregation in our Common Service.

REFLECTIONS 

The conversations have begun.  Our summer worship planning has started taking shape. The single worship service at 10:30 between May 27 and September 9 will be conceived, planned and developed by joint team members of the Traditional worship team and the New Creation worship team.

Reflections

One of the things First Congregational UCC is known for is our commitment to working cooperatively with our sister congregations in serving the needs of others.  Our special offering this month, ONE GREAT HOUR OF SHARING (OGHS) is one of the most important ministries we support.  By participating with the Church World Service, we offer assistance to those who suffer either human or natural disasters.  Last year we gave over $,7000.  To date, we have given this year just over $4,000.

REFLECTIONS:

We are seeking to reclaim a power that some say has been lost. We are going to have some conversations.

Marilyn Chandler McEntyre says that in early English “conversation appears to have been a term that included and implied much more than it does now; to converse was to foster community, to commune with, to dwell in a place with others.  Conversation was understood to be a life-sustaining practice, a blessing, and a craft to be cultivated for the common good.” (Caring for Words in a Culture of Lies)

REFLECTIONS

Sometimes the news is overwhelming.  We get news of disaster and destruction the moment it happens. It comes from our neighborhood, our nation and every nation on the globe.  Sometimes our brain just can’t take it all in. And we are paralyzed by a sense of helplessness. There is simply too much and so little that any one person can do. Our resources seem so meager over-against the overwhelming need.

REFLECTIONS

Easter is a day of celebration.  It will be good to all be together with family and friends who will be joining us on this day.  The 10:30 service will be a time when the whole church family can gather in one service of worship and focus our gratitude on the God who offers us new life when it seems that all is futile.

REFLECTIONS

A recent article in the Christian Century laid out some essential elements for sustaining congregational life.  They seem important to me and I want to share them with you in the next few weeks.

One of the elements that is critical for a community to find its way in the world together is to celebrate regularly.  Worship is a weekly celebration and is very important for us as we try to work together to bear witness to the gospel as we experience it through Christ.

REFLECTIONS

I seem to be asking a lot of questions these days.  I have always been a curious sort. Mystery has always intrigued me. But, these days’ questions seem to be dancing around my head day and night.
