Welcome to First Federated Church. We consider it an honor that you’ve chosen to worship with us today. As followers of Christ our mission is simple, yet important. We exist to love God, by loving others, helping them become fully functioning followers of Christ. To that end I hope you

are encouraged by the music and message. I trust that you will feel at home as you connect with some of the people who surround you today. If I can help you in any way, please don’t hesitate to connect with me and my wife Connie. May God’s blessings be upon you.

WELCOME
