Start getting into Christmas Season!

REflect & Respond Classes for advent

November 30, December 7, and December 14: Please join Rev. Dominic after worship each Sunday of Advent for a Reflect and Respond Class!  These are post-worship sessions during which we talk about the worship service we have just shared and the elements and themes that we found meaningful.  Through sharing together, we uncover deeper layers of understanding and experience that will make our Advent journey much more enriching.  All are welcome!  

Free Gentle Flow Yoga Class

An offering of gratitude and kindness by Natalie Eagan

As a thank you for renting your beautiful space, I’d like to offer a free gentle flow yoga class for members of the First Congregational Church.

🧘‍♀️ When: Saturday, December 13th at 10:30 a.m.
🕊️ Where: Meet me in the Narthex!
🪷 Duration: 1 hour

This class is perfect for anyone over 12 years old, beginners (or more experienced!) and anyone seeking a calm, grounding practice during the busy holiday season. After a short meditation and connection with our breath, we’ll move slowly through each pose, holding them for a few breaths to stretch the body. 

Please wear loose, comfortable clothing and bring a yoga mat. You can also bring a blanket and small pillow for comfort during our final resting pose. 

As an offering of kindness, you’re invited to bring a non-perishable food item for the local food pantry.

You can sign up with Beth in the office, but walk-in’s are welcome if you aren’t sure of your schedule. A waiver will be required to participate.

Come move, breathe, and find a moment of peace together.
