Dear First Church and Friends,
(Update as of 1.10.2021) Peace be with all of us in these times of uncertainty. Based on the information from the NH Conference of the UCC, the CDC, and the state. Here are NEW updates since our last announcement: Our Worship services through March 21st, 2021 will be on ZOOM only. Our building and offices are CLOSED – including the Food Pantry. Our Food Pantry is CLOSED. We are in a time of building transition as a congregation. We invite you to visit St. Paul's Food Pantry during the transition. Pray for one another and pray for our world. Pray for those who have been diagnosed with COVID-19 and for the selfless medical professionals who are caring for them. May God bless you and keep you, always. Blessings, Pastor Emilia |
No matter who you are, or where you are on life's journey, you are welcome here!

Our Pastor's Welcome

Welcome to First Congregational Church, UCC in Concord!
We are a welcoming and open congregation living Jesus' call to serve God by serving others. We come together from all walks of life to offer our thanksgiving and praise to God who provides for all our blessings. We also gather to wrestle, like Jacob with the angel, with our doubts and fears. We humbly acknowledge that we don't have all the answers and that we aren’t perfect people. In all things we strive to be a people reflecting God's love for everyone in all that we do. Worship is a time to pause and reflect. We invite God into the quiet time to get in touch with the calm places, the still, deep places and connect with the Spirit. Worship invites us to focus on feeling, on being. You are invited to join us so that you also may fill your reservoir of inner peace, strength, and love. We invite you to visit us in order to feel the spirit of community in this place. At First Church we believe that faith is a verb, an action word, something that we do rather than something that we have. Faith is "trust in God" in action. Social Justice and Outreach are sacred priorities for our church family and define how we follow Jesus Christ in the world today. Thank you for visiting our website. We hope that you will find these pages informative and welcoming as you learn more about us. No matter who you are or where you are on life's journey, you are welcome at First Church! Blessings, Pastor Emilia |
