On Thursday April 1 we will hold our annual Maundy Thursday potluck and Tenebrae service. The potluck starts at 6pm and the Tenebrae Service begins at 7:30pm. This year the Tenebrae Service will be held in the main sanctuary.
This beautiful and moving service depicts the passion of Christ through sacred scripture and gradual darkening of the worship space.
We hope you will join us. A sign up sheet for the potluck is posted in the DeWolfe room, or you may email Barbara at the office and let her know what you will be bringing and how many are in your group – office@fccbristol.org

The Board of Deacons and the Church Council have petitioned the Moderator for a Special Congregational Meeting on Sunday, November 2, 2008 after worship. We will be voting “yes” or “no” on the following:
“The First Congregational Church is an Open and Affirming Church and adopts the Open and Affirming Statement endorsed by the Board of Deacons.”
Proxy ballots for active members contacting the church office.
The Board of Deacons
‘Christmas Food Basket Mission Project’
The Board worked with local agencies to provide food for those in need. With the many volunteers, they were able to put together 33 baskets.
The Board of Deacons would like to thank everyone who came out to help put the Christmas Boxes together for the families in Bristol. The day was awful but the willingness from all who came was great.
