This Sunday at First Church

The Fourth Sunday In Lent

Reckless Mercy — A Sermon by Rachael Keefe

Sin is bad and mercy is good. Everyone knows this, right? But what if sin was used to glorify God and mercy disturbed the faithful. Where would that leave you?

Rachael's sermon is based on the Gospel of John, chapter 9, the story of Jesus healing a man who was born blind and the criticism Jesus receives from the Pharisees.

Celebration Singers Offertory Anthem: Climbin' Up The Mountain. Senior Choir Communion Anthem — Death Shall Not Destroy My Comfort Hymns: “My Hope Is Based On Nothing Less”; “Bread of the World, in Mercy Broken”; and a hymn with an Urdu (Pakistani) melody, “Jesus the Christ Says.”

Second Hour—Taking First Church On The Road As part of First Church outreach, we'll discuss ways to get ourselves and our spiritual life and message out into the community. Our Congo Bongo Committee (for attraction and growth) proposes a collaborative "Salon" with The Buttonwood Tree. Come hear more and add your input and support to develop this vision.
