Thanks to you, First Church is growing God’s Kingdom by providing vibrant ministries of wonderful worship, inspirational music and arts, engaging children and youth ministries, enlightening Bible studies, and life-changing mission opportunities!
In Matthew, we are called to be the light of the world; to be a source of comfort and reassurance to those we meet along our faith journey. I invite you to be that source of illumination during this Easter season by making a “Second Mile” Easter offering that will support three life-changing ministries.
First Church’s ministries are strong and vibrant. We are so grateful for you every day! I count you among my daily blessings.
Given the unusual past 12 months, this year’s “Second Mile” Easter Offering is more important now than ever before.
Next90 is about preparing for the future baptisms, confirmands, and transformation of lives in the years to come. It is about the continuation of the legacy of a vibrant downtown church that began over 146 years ago.
I wish to express my heartfelt gratitude for all of the generosity shared in 2020 by our congregation. First Church has a big heart that beats strong because of the loving actions and attitudes of each of you.
Through your generous giving — and the generous giving of others — we can celebrate, perhaps now more than ever, the many life-changing First Church ministries that took place this past year.
It is your enthusiasm that motivates our clergy and staff every day, inspiring them to provide innovative and engaging ministries that Love God, Serve People, and Transform Lives.
As we near the 2020 finish line, let’s join together to fully fund this year’s ministry and operating budget in preparation for a robust 2021!
If you have not yet made a gift to the 2020 Ministry and Operating Fund, I ask you to prayerfully step up and make one before year-end.
