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.
