Welcome to First

FAITH TO GO!

It's kick-off Wednesday, February 10th!  Harold Sutter has agreed to make his delicious eggs.  Paul Scheel will be presenting.  So set your alarms, join in the conversation, enjoy breakfast and a cup (or two) of steaming Fair Trades coffee with others focused on taking their faith with them all week long.  This group will meet on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month from 6:30-7:30 a.m.  We will send you out the door with prayer.  All are welcome.  Contact Sunni for more information.  Can you think of a better way to start your day?

FESTIVAL OF THE TRANSFIGURATION

Sunday, February 14th is the Festival of the Transfiguration.  We will sing Alleluia for the last time until Easter, and we will gather in last year's Palm Sunday palm's so that they may be burned to become our Ash Wednesday ashes. Look for the basket outside the worship space to drop them off.   

KIDS FOR CHRIST (MINISTRY FOR 3RD-5TH GRADE)

This new ministry will focus on building community, providing service and learning more about being a "Kid for Christ."  Join us on Sunday, February 14th  from 2:00-4:00 p.m. for our first official "Kids for Christ" event.  We will celebrate Valentine's Day with games, prizes, cookie decorating and lots more fun.  Friends are welcome.  Please contact Heidi if you are interested in this event. 

ENCOUNTERS WITH SCRIPTURE

This Lent you are invited to be a part of Encounters with Scripture on Sunday evenings in the Chapel from 7-8:15 p.m. This group will focus on listening to Scripture, prayer and discoverying what God may be saying to us today.  This experience will utilize the aural method, which centers on listening to the Bible passages and relating it to our own faith journeys today.  For more information contact Vicar Norma
