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

Join Pastor Dan in the DeWolf Room as it is transformed into a cozy chapel for a Sunday Evening Meditative Service. Each Sunday at dusk. (Times will vary with the setting sun – see the schedule) The chapel will be open 1/2 hour before the service begins for quiet meditation. Relaxing music will be in the background and devotional materials will be available to you.
This service is a perfect end to the week or the beginning of a new one.
The service lasts about 15 minutes.

Please join us in the DeWolf Room at 6pm Wed. Feb 17 for our Ash Wednesday Labyrinth Service. This moving and meaningful service is a perfect start to the Lenten Journey. Families are encouraged to bring their children to this reverent service and teach them the meaning of Ash Wednesday and labyrinth walking.
I am attempting to tell the “perfect” joke on Sunday. What is it?
Come and see!
(By the way, I will also be telling you the perfect story from our Scriptures)
And, if you want to re-arrange your spiritual furniture, think about this quote, and let me know what you think:
“Sustainability is another word for justice, for what is just is sustainable and what is unjust is not.”
- Matthew Fox
Next week – I will use a familiar tune to share a broad Biblical truth.
