The Divine Feminine - Proverbs 8:1-11, 22-31

I had a bit of a non-traditional childhood as it relates to the church.  My father is an ordained minister in the United Church of Christ and served the church his entire career.  Yet my Sunday school experience was defined mostly by a smattering of days in congregations where my dad was guest preaching and I would drop in for a Sunday, essentially at random.  A person might look at my upbringing and think I was totally unchurched.  But that’s not really true.

— John Edgerton

Part of a Balanced Breakfast

Way to go, First United!  With your generous support, our Loving with Books project was a wild success.  We set an initial project goal to raise funds to provide 100 books to mission partner New Moms to support their mission to provide new, empowering children's books to their program participants.  First United, you stepped up and almost DOUBLED that goal!  We raised enough money to send almost 200 books to New Moms.   Our Church School kids also participated in the project.  Throughout the month of May, the kids collected special offerings as part of the fundraising effort.  Then, before sending the books to New Moms, we gave our Church School kids a chance to read them and pick out their favorites.  The children put there books into baskets and brought the forward during worship for a special blessing.   Many thanks to those who contributed as well as to our Loving with Books project team!
