From Rev. David's sermon, September 18, 2022 "If our capacity for feeling within what others feel–if our compassion for hurt and loss near and far–leads us to amend our ways and doings, if it causes us to care for the stranger, the orphan, and the widow, then the losses we suffer will not also mean the loss of God’s presence among us. Illness will not end, and tragedy will not end; it will always be tragic to lose someone. But despair can end, hopelessness can end, violence between people, iniquities between us can be ended." OF NOTE: IN PERSON WORSHIP CONTINUES; ZOOM SERVICE RESUMES. First Congregational Church continues in-person Sunday services at 10AM, masks optional. Sunday Zoom has resumed.
