We've been waiting for you! It's true, because we believe that every person who comes to First Church was sent by God himself. It's not by accident that we have the joy of meeting you. So, above all else we want to express Christ's love with genuine heartfelt warmth. We're eager to know you, and we're excited to share with you the marvelous ways God is working in our church.

It won't take you long to discover that this is a group of people who are focused on the relationships that matter most. Growing together we worship, we serve, we laugh, we cry, we learn and we reach out to our world with life transforming truth. Our doors and our hearts are open to you. If you've been thinking, praying, searching and hoping for a place to belong, we at First Church, say again... 

Welcome!

LENTEN MEDITATION

Jesus Christ, my Savior lived for me, and died,
Source of my salvation, yet was crucified.
Peace that knows no measure: This by faith I see.
Love that knows no ending; Jesus died for me.

Lord, we renew our commitment these forty nights and days.
And Lord, by Your grace, help us change our sinful ways.

Hear me now, Lord Jesus: I will never stray.
I will never wander. Hear me as I pray:
Free me now from darkness. Cleanse me now from sin.
Pardon my transgressions. Make me pure within.

Lord, we renew our commitment these forty nights and days.
And Lord, by Your grace, help us change our sinful ways.

Amen, Amen.
