Pastor Jill invites everyone to join her Monday through Thursday evenings at 6:30 pm for “Prayer Connection” using Zoom. As a participant, you can use the same connection instructions printed above (see the item about the “Annual Financial Meeting Today.” This
is the general Zoom connection for all our Church virtual meetings. Prayer Connection is a drop-in sort of session and no attendance is taken, so join us whenever you wish. We are reminded by these gatherings how much we need each other and
each other’s prayers!
Virtual Coffee Time is weekly each Wednesday afternoon at 3:00 pm (note change of time). It is a BYOC (bring your own cup) kind of event, but there will be no agenda except to catch up with each other. Please join us on Zoom or dial in by phone.
We have online giving available on the Church website: www.firstcongregationaluccalex.com. Click on the “give” button to give directly. Or you can text the word “Give” to 1-(844) 913-1752. We have several folks who have been taking advantage of this means to support the Church they love. Thank you for your generous and ongoing support!
Status of Giving: A statement of your Church giving to date can be prepared at any time. Just contact the Church office!
Stewardship reminder: It’s not too late to turn in your pledge for 2021. It will greatly help with creating the Church Budget for the coming year. Thank you!
Helpers needed for preparing bags of groceries for the United Way Food Drop on Thursday, January 28. Thanks to your caring generosity, we have collected $2,485 in funds through our “Tree of Lights” campaign to purchase meat and protein from our local stores. This is our share of the gifts to provide groceries for those in need in our community. A note will be included in each of the bags that the gift of meat/
protein was from our Church. Please let Barb Brown know if you’d be available to help fill bags on January 28.
“Remember Your Baptism” letters that contained shower tags were mailed this past week. If you did not receive one, please let us know and we can get one to you.
