FROM PASTOR JAY
WOMANSONG WILL BE OUR MUSICAL GUESTS THIS SUNDAY
This Sunday we hear Jesus say to take up our cross, deny ourselves, and follow him (Matthew 16:21-28). Various interpretations are offered as to what that means in our daily lives. We will consider the original “sitz im leben” (situation in life) for interpretive clues, and feminist theologians who offer correctives to patriarchal understandings. As I like to say, we practice advanced Christianity here! Womansong provides music and Anna is liturgist. JJ got an early start on the ice cream social and did not know when to say when. He will teach the kids that sometimes self-denial is a good thing!
First Congregational Church of Prescott, United Church of Christ, is an Open and Affirming congregation.

We welcome all to share the celebrations and challenges of our congregation. No matter who you are or where you are on life's journey, you are welcome here.
