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. 

Whether you enter the front church doors (nearest to the rotary), or the breezeway entrance (behind the church); you will be greeted by our Sunday morning hosts or other members 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.
After the children’s sermon, children can leave together to attend our  Sunday school program for kids (primary – junior high program) or they can return to sit with the adults, if they prefer.

If you have an infant or toddler and need a break from the sanctuary,  we provide a live stream of the service in our Nursery / toddler room (downstairs across from the Sunday School room). Stop in our Sunday school room and one of the teachers will be happy to turn on the live stream in the toddler room so you can watch and listen to the service from there.

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 all 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/Community room, for a time of coffee, refreshments, punch and cookies. The Hall is on the first floor, near the breezeway.

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