Earth Day 2024 - We Are All Connected

Sunday, April 21 | 11:00 a.m. | Chapel

Travel through history with Native American spiritual leader, teacher, and tribal citizen, Dawn Moneyhan. Learn how Wisconsin’s topography has changed since European settlement, how it relates to the climate crisis we face today, and what we can ALL do about it. Complete your experience through hands-on learning—the indigenous perspective of our natural world. Come, meet the rest of your relatives and take with you a new understanding of the environment all around you as we celebrate Earth Day 2024.

WISE Conversations

Sundays: April 28, May 5 | 8:30 a.m. in the Chapel
Wednesdays: April 17, May 1, May 8 | 7:00 p.m. on Zoom

WISE (Welcoming, Inclusive, Supportive, and Engaged) is the official designation of the UCC Mental Health Network. First Congregational has always been a congregation understanding of and supportive of the mental health of all of God’s children. Join us as we continue conversations about the importance of mental health and how we embrace being inclusive. We are offering six opportunities, three in-person and three via Zoom, to better understand how to welcome, include, support, and engage with individuals with mental health challenges. We hope to be able to vote to be a WISE congregation at our Annual Meeting in June.

Help Us Lift Others

At First Congregational UCC-Madison, we know that when we come together, miracles happen. Together, we rise by lifting others.

During this year’s annual campaign, the Board of Stewardship calls you to help lift one another by lifting the mission of the Church. All the good we accomplish together; we do through a commitment to annual giving.
