Sunday October 27th @ 4pm, Mass Audubon Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary

"Wild Geese"

In Celtic Christianity, wild geese were seen as an expression of the Holy Spirit. Join us at the Mass Audubon Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary as we will observe geese migrating south for the winter. Pastor Jon will provide a reflection based on the work of George MacDonald and Mary Oliver.

“Christ wears “two shoes” in the world: scripture and nature. Both are necessary to understand the Lord, and at no stage can creation be seen as a separation of things from God.” -John Scotus Eriugena

Do you feel a sense of wonder inspired by the natural beauty that surrounds us? Would you like to explore your faith and spirituality, while learning more about this amazing landscape we call home? FOOTPRINTS is an opportunity for people of all ages to learn more about the world around us, to ask questions, and to enjoy a time of reflection and contemplation.

These walks are a partnership between the First Congregational Church of Wellfleet, and a group of local naturalists. Together we will investigate what the worlds of faith and science can teach us about the world around us. While Pastor Jon will often be reflecting on elements of the Christian tradition, FOOTPRINTS is open to people of all faiths (and no faith), who are interested in exploring their unique spiritualities. 

Each of our walks will be about an hour long; you may wish to bring a water bottle, and decent walking shoes. The walks will be generally easy, and suitable for all ages.

Join us on Sunday October 27th as we offer our thanks to the members of our community who give so much of themselves to keep us all safe.

During the service we will offer a blessing for firefighters, EMTs, police officers, beach guards, harbor workers and town DMV workers.

Following our service, all are invited to attend a time of fellowship and refreshment to offer our thanks and support.

Sunday September 8th @ 4pm, Duck Harbor

"Look to the Rock"

Join Pastor Jon and Dr. Bob Stewart as they consider the geology (and theology) of Duck Harbor. Dr. Stewart will speak about the hidden stories of the stones we walk across, and Pastor Jon will consider Isaiah’s instruction to: Look to the rock from which you were hewn, and to the quarry from which you were dug. We will meet at the Duck Harbor parking area and will be making the easy walk over the dune to the beach.

Join us as we celebrate everything that Easter means, through worship, song, and prayer!

Join us for our Easter Sunrise service.

6:00 a.m. at Newcomb Hollow Beach

On Good Friday, we gather to recall the great sacrifice that lies at the heart of our faith. How could we dare to call a time of desolation and loss "Good"? Join us as we acknowledge the darkness of this time, as we also wait for the coming joy of Easter.

On Thursday March 28th, First Congregational Church will host an Agape meal prior to our Maundy Thursday service.

Agape meals were a feature of the early church; a free meal, open to all, served with agape, or “charitable love.” These meals were one of the ways early Christians spread their message and aided their communities.

We will be holding a simple meal of soup, bread, cheese, nuts, and fruit, before our Maundy Thursday service.

Dinner begins at 5, the service will be held at 6, and a sign-up sheet for the various parts of the meal will be available in Fellowship Hall and online.

Lent is a special season in the life of the church, when Christians turn their attention to their individual walk with God. This Lent, we will be reading and discussing "Speaking of Sin" by Barbara Brown Taylor. This slim volume provides a wonderful overview of difficult concepts within our faith: sin, damnation, penance and repentance. By engaging with what these terms have meant, and what relevance those meanings have for our lives, we can better understand grace, forgiveness, and salvation.

Join us for our final session on Wednesday, March 13th at 12:30.

If you have any questions, please speak to Pastor Jon or the church office.
