As we approach Commitment Sunday on November 17, think back on your money story: what you believe about money, wealth and poverty. Reflect on God’s money story: that there is enough for everyone. That you are enough. Let us reimagine our world together and bring our gifts of time, talent, and most of all money that empower our congregation to be a space where we can practice what we imagine, where we can experience God’s extravagant love and Beloved Community. Give so that our congregation can continue, through each of us, to transform individual’s lives and our wider community. Pray and reflect on all of this and more as you bring your pledge for 2025.

Pledge cards have been mailed and are available in the narthex. Please bring your completed cards to worship on Sunday, November 17. We will collect and bless them during the service.

The Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR), also known as the International Transgender Day of Remembrance, has been observed annually on November 20 as a day to memorialize those who have been murdered or who have lost their lives as a result of transphobia and violence against trans people. It is a day to draw attention to the continued violence endured by transgender and gender diverse people. Please join us for a Community Service of Education, Remembrance and Resilience.

ALL ARE WELCOME!

Join us after worship to decorate the sanctuary for the Christmas season! We will sing Christmas music and enjoy Panera treats. There are plenty of jobs for both adults and children.

Get your Christmas list ready and head over to Thrifts and Gifts! We have many unique items for that special person on your list. Please note we will be closed Saturday, November 16, Friday, November 29, and Saturday November 30.

The youth are selling wreaths this year to help fund their mission trips and La Foret camps. The wreaths are made from live evergreens and are sustainably harvested. Your friends and family can still order online until December 8th. Gifts are shipped directly to the recipient via FedEx. For every evergreen gift $8 will go to us. Purchases can be made online via the link: https://giftitforward.com/fundraising-code/FIRSTCCO002 until December 8. Ten percent of sales will go to the fund for unhoused youth. If you have any questions, please contact Kim Lebbrand at (970)532-9974.

First Congregational Church will again be ringing the Salvation Army Red Kettle bells this year and needs volunteers. Our designated Saturdays to ring are December 7, 14, and 21 at the south King Soopers on Eagle Drive in Loveland. Please sign up to ring during your favorite time slot at the trophy case. We will also need counters for the kettles. Please call Mary (970-290-4152) for signups and location. Contact Mary Kauffman (970-290-4152) or Judy Bernard (970-689-8336) with any questions.

A box is in the lower level entry to collect used prescription bottles for a local veterinarian who will recycle them to use for pet medicines. The labels MUST be removed before placing in the box. If you have questions, please call Elizabeth Endicott, (507) 440-4934.

We are collecting toiletry samples for the Community Kitchen. If you have any of those toiletries that you collect from hotel visits that you never get around to using, please feel free to drop them off in the basket  in Fellowship Hall.
