A special invitation: First Congregational United Church of Christ

I find that there are many people out there who feel that God could not possibly love them. When examining their life, they reminisce upon the mistakes they have made, the scar tissue of regret that is etched into their memory, they feel a church might collapse if they entered it. Or worse, they love Jesus but have been brow beat and battered by His followers. Ever feel this way? Me too. Maybe today that is how you feel as you read this-what could I possibly want with church now? Keep reading. Perhaps you are skeptical about organized religion. At First Congregational United Church of Christ you will find a different kind of church.

I’d like to offer you something else- a journey of faith that permeates every aspect of our lives and calls us into something more, something life changing, something that calls us into a daily relationship with God. Come find spiritual rest and strength here at First Congregational United Church of Christ this Easter season… where all God’s children are met and cared for with dignity, where God’s love is lived out, and where worship is full of joy. Easter is a time for new beginnings, and rising to new life and new chapters with Jesus. We’d love for you to begin anew with us.

Senior Pastor Scott Oberle
