OPPORTUNITIES TO SERVE AT FIRST CHURCH
With more and more church programs coming back up in person, we do need your help! Not all of our former volunteers are able to return yet, some are still waiting to be vaccinated or belong to a higher risk group that prevents them from coming.
If you are able to help out in person, please click on the 'You Can Count on Me' below.
Thank you so much for contemplating this and for prayerfully considering which area God calls you.
HANDS-ON MINISTRY
Are you looking for ways to live out your faith by serving those in need in our local community? Does your employer offer time-off to participate in volunteer activities? Each month, First Church will provide opportunities for anyone to participate in hands-on volunteering opportunities throughout our local community.

MISSION OF THE MONTH
The Mission of the Month for August is Harbor House
Harbor House is an independent non-profit agency which offers safe shelter and basic crisis services to women and children hurt by domestic abuse. Even during the pandemic, Harbor House has managed to provide help and hope throughout the year. Services include one-on-one counseling, support groups, legal advocacy, and awareness training for community members and school groups. The agency maintains a 24-hour telephone helpline at 1-800-970-1171. Harbor House serves over 1,200 women and children each year, with 364 staying at the shelter in 2020. What can we do to help? Harbor House has provided a short list of most needed items at this time. They are: TWIN-SIZED SHEET SETS, SUMMER PAJAMAS AND CLOTHES (for women and children), BATH TOWELS, MULTI-CULTURAL DOLLS AND BARBIES, and KIDS’ ACTIVITY SETS (rock painting, craft sets, etc.) Harbor House is unable to accept used items. If you prefer to make a donation, the shopping will be done for you! Please turn any money in to the office and indicate it is for Harbor House. All other items may be placed in the marked bin by the Wesley Room. Any questions can be directed to Donna Frick or Chris Hartman. As always, thank you very much for your continued generosity as you support our Mission of the Month..
PRAYER REQUEST
Our Befriender Ministry exists to pray with you and for you, and is honored to lift your concerns and joys to God in total confidence and without judgment.
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7
GIFT OF PRAYER FOR OUR CHURCH
Our prayer ministry is entering its 4th year with the same goal, to cover First Church in prayer. Each day in 2021 we want a member of our congregation praying for our pastors, staff, ministries, and members. We invite you to sign up to pray for our church.
