SUMMARY:Summer Hours for the Church Office
DESCRIPTION:As we have in years past\, beginning on June 15th\, the church office will be operating on our summer schedule. The building will be open Tuesday-Friday 10am-2pm and Sundays 8:30am-12:30pm. The office building will be closed on Mondays. Church staff will be working their usual schedules\, but having the office closed on Mondays will allow for rest and attention to the planning of big projects for the coming program year.\n\nAs usual\, if you need building access for when the office is closed\, please email Claire Amey\, at office@faithatfirst.com for a building code.\n\nThank you so much for the support of First Church Staff!\n\n– Pastor Britt

SUMMARY:Confirmation Class
DESCRIPTION:Sundays 9:15-10:15am (7-8th Grade) \nConfirmation is the culmination of a two-year process that focuses on building relationships with God\, each other\, and the larger faith community. Class meets on Sunday mornings to discuss theology\, spiritual practices\, and living our faith in the world. It’s a time to eat donuts\, for youth to think critically and ask hard questions while growing in love and relationship with God and neighbor. A key focus is to help youth develop a sense of belonging in the congregation. At the conclusion of the process\, 8th graders are invited to take confirmation vows during Sunday worship. \n  \nEmail Sydney@faithatfirst.com with questions!
