At First Congregational Church, we’re celebrating almost 200 years of Congregational life and faith. A lot has happened since our church was founded in 1817, but some things never change.
We remain committed to our vision to glorify God through Christ-centered worship, vigorous Bible teaching, the care and edification of God’s people, outreach to our neighbors, and the proclamation of the gospel to other cultures around the world.
Our church covenant concludes with these words –
“We agree to seek with the help of the Holy Spirit the unity, purity and glory of the church in doctrine and life, to the praise of our covenant-keeping God.”
We think that’s a vision worth celebrating.

Dewey Missionary Society will once again put up a Christmas tree for the Seneca Gospel Mission. We will be collecting toys and food items through December 5th. For those contributing Christmas toys - the children (a lot of teens this year) like games, hand-held games, and sports balls (basketballs, footballs, and so forth). For those contributing food for the Christmas baskets, remember: no fresh foods. Only boxed and canned items, such as fruits & vegetables, soups, cereals and desserts (cake mixes with frosting).

ANNOUNCEMENTS
This morning marks the beginning of Advent 2010. Our worship services will commemorate the season with candles, readings, banners, and special messages. This year’s theme is “NOW IN FLESH APPEARING.” Over the Christmas season, we’ll consider the mystery of the incarnation and see how Jesus’ humanity is essential to our understanding of God, his word, and our salvation. Let’s prepare our hearts together for this special season.
