ONA Covenant Adopted
“We, the people of the First Congregational Church of Leicester, affirm that each individual is a child of God, and we recognize that we are called to be like one body with many members. We celebrate the beauty and uniqueness of each expression of God’s diverse family as well as our oneness in Christ. As we seek to live out Christ’s compassion and promote healing and wholeness of life, we welcome into our community persons of every age, race, nationality, economic and social status, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, mental and physical ability, faith background, marital standing and family structure; and we invite them to share in the life, leadership, ministry, fellowship, worship, sacraments, responsibilities, joys, hardships and blessings of our congregation as we seek to grow together in faith and love.” The ONA Covenant adopted by a large majority in a special meeting on Jan. 27, 2019. I feel so blessed to serve this wonderful, faithful, loving community. xo Doreen
Christmas Eve Service
Advent/ Christmas Eve Services
All is Calm, All is Bright
Come worship with us throughout the Christmas Season. This Advent and Christmas, we will focus on the Christmas Carol, Silent Night, which was written two hundred years ago.
Each Sunday in Advent, we light candles on the Advent Wreath and talk about the light that entered the world through Jesus Christ.
We celebrate anew each year the miracle that God came to us as one of us to bring God’s peace and love.If you have friends or family members who do not have a church, Christmas is a wonderful time to invite them to experience worship at First Congregational. On December 24, there will be a 5:00 p.m. Christmas Eve service with lessons and Christmas carols, beautiful music, and candlelight.
