Romans 12:12

“Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer”

Creator God, we pray for our world now facing a global pandemic. We ask for wisdom in making decisions to help lessen any harm the Coronavirus may bring. Grant us the strength to be a force of good in combating this disease. We seek ways to be of help to our neighbors, and all people who may be affected. May we be mindful to walk in faith and act in love, both in times of joy, and in times of challenge. Amen.

Announcing

WORSHIP:

The First Congregational Church of Marion, MA welcomes you to join us for a Virtual Worship Service, each Sunday at 10:00 a.m. Email the office for a Zoom link or to subscribe to our Daily Devotions which will include the link and bulletin in the Friday edition under the Steeple Lites link. In-person service is also available at present with Covid-19 restrictions in place: attendance kept for tracing, hand sanitizer available at the door, masks required, preservice high contact wipe-downs, distanced family seating, and compliance with state capacity guidelines. Our church has installed an air purification as an added precaution, not a replacement for Covid-19 restrictions. We hope all our worship offerings will provide some spiritual well-being and sense of community. These worship services are being recorded on Zoom or prerecorded and will be posted on the church's YouTube channel. Find the link to the YouTube channel at the bottom of the page.

COMMUNITY GATHERING:

We invite you to join us each Sunday at 11:30 am for Vestry Cafe, a time of coming together as a community for sharing and companionship. Discussion is open and interesting. It is also wonderful to see so many familiar faces! Call the office or check the Friday Daily Devotions under Steeple Lites for the Zoom link.

EDUCATION:

A weekly Bible study, via Zoom, is open to all. It is held each Tuesday from 10:00.

Many of these offerings are happening via Zoom, which requires you to receive an invitation. If the church does not have your email address please contact the church office at office@marionfirstchurch.org or contact Pastor MaryAnn Purtill at pastor@marionfirstchurch.org.
