January 11th was a day of welcoming. We welcomed our new organist, Diane Pratt Keller

And we welcomed retired United Methodist pastor, Rev. Karen Paulsen. Karen grew up in First Church, and has returned to help with congregational care.

Pastor Linda spoke with the children about Epiphany

"Shall We Gather at the River" was today's anthem from the Chancel Choir

Pastor Linda's sermon was "Remember Your Baptism". Listen to it here. And see that chair - it's the best seat in church, and you could be sitting in it. We're raising money for Imagine No Malaria, and the person who gets the most votes, gets to sit in the chair.

It's almost time for Great Decisions. You can purchase this year's book on the Patio.
