Babies, Toddlers, and Children!

We welcome all children in our worship with open arms.

Babies - YES! 

Toddlers - YES!

Preschoolers - YES!

Children with disabilities - YES!

Youth - YES! 

Plus, our Sunday School is held on most Sundays during the school year for all children ages 4-12 years who wish to attend.  The first Sunday of the month, the children remain in worship. On Sundays without Sunday School  our pastor teaches a child friendly message and we provide Worship Bags with leaflets and independent activities/crafts for childrens' use.

We have a rocking chair ready just for you and your baby!

We also have a table at the back of the sanctuary with crafts, books, etc. for children to enjoy at the table or in their seats near their parents. There's another play area near the front of the sanctuary with a few toys and books.

Come join the fun and hear the stories!

 

 

Youth

Our Youth meet at various times for fun and friendship activities as we consider faith together. 

 

 There's always food, we're bulding faith while developing friendships, and having lots of fun!

Weekly Devotions

A Moment’s Contemplation

Tuesdays at 9am on Zoom*

Led by Pastor Diana Bell-Kerr

Join us for a weekly Lectio Divina meditation, a twenty minute timeout on Tuesdays at 9 AM. Lectio Divina is a way of listening to/for God by praying with scripture in a slow, repetitive way. This practice goes back to early centuries of Christianity (6th century?!) when it was a regular prayer practice for monks and clergy in the western church traditions. We will engage in this form of prayer as we read a scripture slowly, listening to what may arise as we read. Then we will read it again, and again, noticing what comes forward and grabs our attention each time.

Contact the church office to sign up: Firstucc.admin@sonic.net.

Coffee Hour and Community

On Sundays after worship we enjoy coffee hour with light snacks.  Also, there are our regular potlucks and lunches...mmmm...sometimes with a forum on a topic of social justice, etc.  

Prayer Shawls

We LOVE our knitters, crocheters and fabric artists!  If you'd like to help in this Ministry of Care by making prayer shawls of comfort for those in the midst of challenging circumstances, contact the church office for more information.  Bless you.
