What’s Happening
Summer brings mid-week Vespers services as well as our 10 a.m. Sunday worship. Join us for six weeks of Vespers starting at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, July 11. It will be a casual but meaningful come-as-you-are worship with music, prayer, reflection, and more. Weather permitting, we will worship outside on the church lawn. In case of inclement weather, we will worship in the chapel.
Congratulations to our 2018 confirmands!
First United welcomed 10 new members with the successful completion of their Quest confirmation class, taught September through May for 9th graders. The process includes Bible study, service projects, examination of faith through video and discussion, and a deeper exploration of their own spirituality. Thanks to teachers Alicia Reese and Art Spooner (top row, center) for another successful year of Quest.
