Summer is upon us, and what a different summer it will be from the last one!  We hope and pray you find extra time…

• for gathering with friends and family, in-person and in places near or far-away;
• to be outside, and mask-free, whether in a city park, on a mountaintop, at a campground or at the beach;
• to keep reading up and/or acting up in ways that make God’s love and justice real;
• in quiet reflection about what a wild year-plus it has been;
• to give thanks to God!

Here’s some of what we have in store for this summer at First Church. Please join us for any or all of it!
