Autumn Vespers
Wednesday, November 12 | 7:00 p.m. | Chapel ‒ Stir Up Your Power
Join us in Sacred Circle, incorporating breath, song, and word, returning to the root. Stillness before action provides mental clarity, enhances emotional regulation, and fosters thoughtful decision-making, resulting in more intentional and effective outcomes. In a world filled with constant distractions and pressure to react instantly, taking a deliberate pause is a powerful act of mindfulness. Singing satiates the need for emotional expression and grounding, leveraging the mind-body connection to process feelings and return to a state of stability. Make time for the Holy Spirit during these alternative services!
Solar for Justice Community Grants
First Congregational UCC installed a large solar array on the roof that provides about 65% of the electricity for church activities. The solar energy project grew from Congregational discussions around justice and caring for creation. The conversations focused on environmental justice, recognizing that environmental harm, and the benefits from many environmental programs, are not distributed equitably.
The solar panels reduce the Church’s carbon footprint and save on utility costs. We are pleased to share that the yearly savings are being distributed to the community in the form of Solar for Justice grants. Learn more.
