On Thursday, December 18th at 3:00 pm, we held a special Blue Christmas service. There are many who experience a sense of loss during the holiday season, or perhaps just being overwhelmed by it. This service invites a moment of quiet contemplation in prayer, scripture and song to pause from the holiday hustle. All were invited to attend.

On Sunday, August 24th an outdoor worship service and church picnic was enjoyed by both First Congregational UCC and Zion UCC at the Redgranite site. It was nice to have members from both churches together for the event. Even though it was a bit breezy and chilly, there was nice sunshine, and everyone looked cozy under their blankets during worship. The potluck was excellent, with lots of tasty food choices enjoyed by attendees. Thank you to all who helped with the planning, set up, food and clean up.
