SUMMARY:Compline Night Prayer Service
DESCRIPTION:Compline Night Prayer Services Return\nOn Tuesdays beginning January 7th\, you are invited to a thirty minute Night Prayer Service to end your day in community and peace. These services from 8:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.\, available via Zoom\, are patterned after the ancient monastic tradition of Compline (meaning completion)–the final prayer of the day. We will follow a simple liturgical format for this service of quietness and reflection before rest. Persons of all ages are encouraged to give this spiritual practice a try. The zoom format invites participation from anywhere! We are enriched when family & friends in many locations join in. The services\, sponsored by the Faith Formation Council\, will continue through Lent\, concluding on April 8th. Participants may attend as schedules allow. Contact Tom Scott (tom.scott.goblue@msn.com) to sign up or with questions.

SUMMARY:The Christian Experiment
DESCRIPTION:The Christian Experiment is participating in One Church One Book for the season of Lent. More information below.\nThe Third Day: Living the Resurrection\nMarch 9-Holy Week\nEach spring\, our church chooses a common book which everyone is invited to read. This year\, our book is Tom Berlin’s The Third Day. Dedicated teachers offer classes on various days and times during the week\, both in-person and via Zoom. \nTo guide us on our journey of reflection and preparation\, Tom Berlin’s book puts the devastating experience of Jesus’ followers after the Crucifixion. When it appeared to them that Jesus was dead\, they all faced despair. But when Jesus reappears\, they take new hope and move forward to launch a world-wide movement. In addition to exploring the biblical characters’ feelings\, the author interlaces contemporary stories of people facing hopelessness and despair and finding renewal in Christ. It offers inspiration to us in our own trying times. The book is available at the church office for $10.00 per copy or through Realm. Please email class teachers for Zoom information.

SUMMARY:Social Justice Intersections Group: The Wetlands\, Caring for our Neighbor. With guest speaker\, Paul Botts\, President and Executive Director of The Wetlands Initiative
DESCRIPTION:On January 19 during Adult Education time\, First Church will hear from Paul Botts\, executive director of The Wetlands Initiative\, about restoring marshes and other wetlands in our area. \nEven though we live beside the Great Lakes\, the greatest freshwater bodies in the world\, clean water is a precious resource. We all need to reduce our use to save clean water in a warming environment. Here are some tips to reduce your water use at home: \n• First\, take shorter showers and turn off the tap while brushing your teeth. Small changes like these add up! \n• Save and reuse water when running your faucet to get hot water. You can use this for watering plants\, for example. \n• Attach a rain barrel to your downspout and collect rainwater to use for watering outdoor plants. (Be sure the top of the barrel has a tight mesh screen over the opening to prevent mosquitoes from breeding there.) \n• Replace faucets and shower heads with low flow versions. New\, water efficient toilets also use much less water than older ones. \n• Run your washing machine only when you have a full load. \n• Maintain your appliances. Check for and repair any water leaks. \nSmall changes at home can help our region retain precious fresh water. And to learn more about the importance of water\, be sure to attend the Wetlands Initiative presentation on January 19th at 9:15 a.m.!
