This Week at First Church--Carpool

Sermon: "The Cross of Life"*
with Guest Pastor

Pick up a neighbor and carpool to church! The parking lot is still a bit crowded with snow, so save gas, share a ride, and share the warmth!

We welcome to the pulpit this morning the Rev. Ruth LeBar Bates. Her sermon, "The Cross of Life," is based on Matthew 5:21-24 and Psalm 119. Children will be together in church school with Linda Heidorn for "Powerful Play."

The Second Hour topic is Christian Education in our Future. Please bring your thoughts and ideas as we share what our education program has done, is doing, and may do in the future with a potential new staffing configuration.

*Snow? Winter weather?
