It Takes A Village

 
For those who grew up in the Church, it wouldn’t take much effort to conjure up the memory of a Sunday School teacher or Youth Leader who made an impact on their life. First Congregational Church is blessed to have a valuable crew of volunteers who bring alive the stories of the Bible, share Jesus’ message of love, model Christ-like behavior, and build bonds of relationships.
