First Congregational UCC Springfield

Are you hurting and lonely? Are you fighting addiction? Are you hungry for knowledge and understanding? Are you entering a new phase of life? Are you craving connection? Are you happy and you know it? Are you curious? Are you afraid and uncertain? Whatever your current situation or circumstance, there are people waiting to meet you and to share in all the ups and downs of life. No one should do life alone! Come find your community at First Congregational United Church of Christ. Worship with us this Sunday at 8 or 10am-2100 S Bates Avenue.

Join us online this evening at 7:00 for an open conversation about redemption. We will read the story of Zacchaeus the Tax Collector (Luke 19:1–10) — a powerful moment where Jesus refuses to define a man by his worst behavior— and attempt to answer some of the following questions:
• Is it possible to extend grace without dismissing the harm we cause?
• What does it mean to see someone the way Jesus saw Zacchaeus?
• When have you experienced a love that refused to define a person by their worst day?

This will be an honest and hope-filled discussion about how grace meets us in the branches and calls us down by name.
We’d love for you to join us. Zoom link is in the comments.

Join us next Wednesday, May 27th!
