SUMMARY:First Church Ministry Tour
DESCRIPTION:Whether you are a new visitor or someone who has been worshipping here for over a year\, we invite you to further explore First Church.  This ministry tour is a great way to learn more about this faith community.  For those who are curious about membership\, this tour is also the first step in the membership process.   \nFirst Church Ministry Tour  \nSunday\, Nov. 10\, immediately following worship \nMeet outside the church office for this 45-minute tour. \n\n\n\n\nPlease RSVP here.  (If you are interested but can’t make it\, please use the RSVP form to indicate your availability for an alternate time.)  \n\n\n\n\nThis tour is an opportunity for First Church visitors to explore who we are as a congregation and what we do in addition to 10:30 worship on Sundays. On the tour participants will:  \n\nLearn about our primary ministries:  Mission and Outreach programs such as Soup Kitchen\, Sack Lunch Ministry\, and our Overnight Shelter; Children’s and Youth Ministries\, Adult classes\, Bible studies\, and groups; Music Ministry; Fellowship groups and opportunities; Congregational Care. \nConsider some key facts around First Church history\, our identity as a Reconciling Congregation and member of Interfaith Action of Evanston; and our membership. \nVisit rooms on multiple floors where\, as Pastor Grace says\, “the magic happens!” — and learn where the bathrooms are! (Note that walking is involved\, and access to other floors via the elevator is an option to stairs.) \n\nBefore and after the tour\, information about membership and the upcoming Inquirers Class will be available.  Questions are always welcome.  \nMary Taylor-Johnson\, Director of Communications and Membership\, mary@faithatfirst.com
