Easter Flowers & Grace Gifts are ready to be shared with our community! Following 11:00 a.m. Easter Worship, you’re invited to pick up a potted flowering plant (or two!) and help deliver joy to someone’s doorstep. Here’s how it works: Come to the front of the Sanctuary after the Postlude, choose a White Card (or a few!) with the name and address of a recipient, pick up a potted plant(s) and deliver them Sunday or Monday. Cards are organized by zip code, so you can select deliveries close to home. Take time to enjoy a front porch visit and a chat. Questions? Email Linda. Spread some springtime beauty, one Grace Gift at a Time.

In June, our high school youth will travel to Fort Worth for a mission focused on food insecurity – hands-on activities at community gardens, food pantries, and advocacy for affordable healthy food access. You can support their trip by signing up for church-hosted parties. Options include dinners, a picnic, a parents’ night out, and a jazz concert. Visit the table in the Link to reserve your spot or click here to reserve your spot.

You’re warmly invited to two special events honoring Charlotte Corbridge, a beloved member of our congregation for over 30 years. A concert will be held Thursday, 4/24 at 2:00 p.m. in the Canyons Center at Frasier (350 Ponca Place, Boulder). A Service of Thanksgiving will follow on Sunday, 4/27 at 2:00 p.m. in our Sanctuary.

Spring is definitely here (in between the snow), so let's celebrate the beauty of the season at FOG at Dean and Marj Fowler's home at 3765 Martinique Ave, Boulder 80301. We are on the corner of St. Lucia and Martinique with the front door on St. Lucia. Bring your favorite Spring wine and we will toast to warmer weather. Come meet new people and make new friends. As usual, couples bring a hearty appetizer and a bottle of wine to share; singles bring either. Non-alcoholic beverages will be supplied. All must be over 21.

Remembering the Marshall Fire, the California fires and all the wildfires across the county, join the Climate Action Team for a forum on Living with Climate Change: Waterwise/ Firewise / Wildlife Gardening. Did you know that often 50%+ of a city’s drinking water goes to landscaping, and half of this is often wasted? This well-illustrated forum shows how to make a waterwise landscape that will attract charismatic critters, repel rascals and make it firewise and fun too.

Are you alarmed by worsening conditions in our world? Would you like to strengthen and nourish your capacity to make a difference? Active Hope is about finding, and offering, our best response when facing concerns about our world situation. Co-sponsored by CAT and the MHM/A2A. Please RSVP to Mary Catherine.

Members of our Climate Action Team will lead a contemplative service at 8:30 a.m. in the Chapel and at 10:30 a.m. the Creation Justice Worship Service in the Sanctuary reminding us of our interconnectedness with all of creation and the reasons we have for hope in our own backyard. 

Learn more about our Missions and Justice in Action Board (MJA) as they present First Cong’s five Social Justice Ministries: Racial Justice, Climate Action, LGBTQ+, Mental Health / A2A and Gun Violence Prevention. Also meet representatives from some of the many Community Partners whose good work our congregation supports through benevolence grants, membership dues, and volunteer energy. This is a fair you don’t want to miss.

Appearing in the pews this Sunday is the new Missions Brochure which reflects the work of our congregation through the Missions and Justice in Action Board (MJA). We invite you to read the brochure and share it with others.
