It is my pleasure to invite you to Easter at First Congregational United Church of Christ. We are excited about what is going on at our church. Not just any church, but a church for you to call home – complete with practical teaching, inspiring music, and a welcoming, casual atmosphere.

I want to invite you to experience First Congregational United Church of Christ for yourself and be our guest on Sunday, March 31st at 10:30 AM.

You will have the opportunity to meet people like you, have a genuinely fun and meaningful time at church, and grow spiritually in your life. You will find a welcoming environment, and the dress is casual, so come as you are. I look forward to seeing you there!

On Friday evening, January 25th at 7:00 PM we will be hosting daily columnist/ humorist, Jonathan Richard Cring and artist/musician Janet Clazzy, during their”2013 Tour: Finding a Message in a World aTwitter”—including comedic and inspirational essays from Mr. Cring’s national daily column at www.jonathots.com, with original musical tunes played by Ms. Clazzy on the oboe and WX-5 Wind Machine.

Mr. Cring is the author of eleven titles, including Digging for Gold, 20 Other Reasons to Kiss a Frog, and Mr. Kringle’s Tales … 26 Stories ’Til Christmas. He is the recipient of the Best Screenplay Award at the Top Ten Films in America.

“We take some time to bring you music, humor fresh insights into life in these United States and ways to find a message,” Mr. Cring shares. “The program is a non-stop, inter-generational explosion.”

Ms. Clazzy is a musical original, having played in orchestras from coast to coast, and often proclaimed to be “the female Kenny G.”

“I have this fabulous instrument called the WX-5 Wind Machine, which gives me 250 sounds at my fingertips,” she touts. “We call the music clazzy—the spirit of classical with the soul of jazz—pop-minded.”

Ms. Clazzy was also the founder of the Sumner Pops Orchestra and the first female conductor in the state of Tennessee.

A free-will offering will be taken and copies of books, Cds and DVDs will be available for purchase.

Join us for dinner at 6:00 PM and program at 7:00 PM.

You are invited to join us for a Lake Worth tradition, our Christmas Eve Candlelight service, with beautiful music, inspiring thoughts, and plenty of candles. The worship service begins at 7:00 PM.

For the first time, First Congregational United Church of Christ will be participating in the “Light the Night” City of Lake Worth Christmas Parade. We already have a team of awesome designers working on our float. They will be finishing up on Saturday, December 1st at 10:00 AM at the Derryberry house.

Then we will gather together on December 8th to prepare for the parade that begins at 6:00 PM. We would love to have as many people as possible riding and marching. If you are interested in participating, see Janet Lisle.

We are putting a new Photo Directory together in 2013. We want everyone to be a part of this special 100th Anniversary directory, so mark your calendars now for Monday and Tuesday, February 4th and 5th, to come and get your picture taken with your family.

This is a great opportunity to have a new family portrait taken with professional photographers from LifeTouch photography. Everyone who is photographed will receive a free 8×10 portrait and a copy of the directory.
