FROM THE PASTOR

Spring 2008

Greetings and peace in our

Lord, Jesus Christ!

Spring has made its way to Fells Point.  You can see and hear it all around the neighborhood.  From the ice cream truck's "Hello!" to the quacking visitors on the duck tours, the laughter of friends out on the street meeting up for Sunday Funday to the folks who stop to talk to the gardening Pastor, you can hear it in the air.

This church is the place we call home and are seeking to grow into all that God is calling us to be as a United Church of Christ parish in this fair city. The people who live here and worship here are young and old, women and men of every race and national origin, gay, lesbian, transgender and straight. Children and Seniors know this as a place to be inspired as well as to inspire, a place to listen and a place to speak, a place to remember days gone by and dream of what lie ahead.

Won't you join us?

We are seeking to image a world, right in this little 150+ year-old church where folks are welcomed, nurtured, challenged, fed, respected and celebrated for who and what they are. A place where you are welcome.

Come and visit us, won't you? At services on Sunday or sometime during the week, take a look at our schedule of events and see if there isn't something going on here at First United Church that might have your name on it…as a matter of fact, if you don't see anything there, would you share your ideas with us?

“That all might have abundant life in oneness with their neighbor.” is a hymn we often sing…truth be told, we'd rather not just sing it.

Peace to you and those you love!

Rev. David B. G. Flaherty

Pastor

Sunday Morning Worship Service

You will find this to be a welcoming community that celebrates a Service of the Word each Sunday with readings, hymns and a sermon.

On the first Sunday of each month we celebrate a Service of the Table ; Holy Communion.  We celebrate an open commuion, and all are welcome to participate.

Remember, it isn't "O Come, some of Ye Faithful"

All are welcome here!
