New Visitors

Welcome and join us this Sunday!

What to expect Sunday morning when you arrive!

You can park anywhere along the front of the church or in our two parking lots behind the building. The larger of the two lots is accessed by a driveway on Prospect Street. We also have parking privileges at the First Niagara Bank and Secure Energy Solutions lot across Somers Road on Sunday Mornings. There are reserved spaces for Sunday visitors behind the church near the Somers Road entrance to our parking lot.

Whether you enter the front church doors, or the breezeway entrance; you will be greeted by our Sunday morning hosts and will receive a program of the day’s worship service and upcoming events.

Our worship service begins at 10:00 a.m. and lasts about an hour. This includes a practical Bible-based sermon, hymns to sing, prayers and responses to read together from the printed program, and time to share prayer concerns. This service also includes an interactive children’s sermon and a choir piece.
During our worship gathering, children can leave after the Children’s sermon to attend our Joyful Noise Sunday school. Nursery child care is also available every sunday from 9:30 a.m. to 11:15 a.m and seasonal worship gatherings during the week.

Our worship space is a characteristically plain ‘New England style’ and comfortable. We tend to be informal. There is no ‘dress code’ so you’re invited to wear what will be most comfortable for you. The space seats about 200 people and there is a balcony, too.

We celebrate the Lord’s Supper (Communion, Eucharist) the first Sunday of the month and you are welcome to participate. During our program year, we serve the bread and grape juice in the pews from trays. During the summer months and on special occasions, Communion is served by Intinction, where the congregation is invited to come forward to take bread and dip it into the cup of grape juice, and then immediately consume the elements of the Lord’s Supper.

You can also join us after worship in the Fellowship Hall for a time of coffee, refreshments, punch and cookies. The Fellowship Hall is on the first floor of the Christian Education wing.

There are a variety of brochures by both entrances that explain the programs and ministries of First Congregational Church. We also have newsletters, devotional magazines, and children’s material, too. Please help yourself.
