It's Stewardship Season at First Church! To those who have already made their pledge for 2023, thank you! If you have not yet pledged, please consider doing so today. Please fill out a pledge card even f you do not plan to change your giving amount from this year to the next or if you have automatic payments set up. We'd like to invite you to pledge online or by using the paper pledge card which you received by mail. If you have any questions, please get in touch with Rose. Thank you for your generosity!

The Pastor’s Pie Table is back, and it’s back in a big way! This year, we are raising money for the Windsor Fuel Bank. Oil prices are HIGH this year, and families are struggling. The Outreach Team has offered to match what we raise, up to $2500 Can we do it? Yes, we can!
The sale will happen after church on November 20 in Nelson Hall. If you would like to offer a sweet or savory baked good, please contact me. Let’s help keep families warm this winter
