Ministry Description |
There is a beautiful clay jar in Waterloo, Iowa. It is a venerable old red brick vessel in with towering stained-glass windows, a 52-rank Reuter pipe organ, and a recently remodeled interior. But the beauty of this earthen vessel pales next to the treasure within. This treasure is the faith, love, and inspirational strength of members of the First Congregational United Church of Christ. Enabled by God, this treasure resides in all valuable pieces of our church life. One piece is a strong music tradition with chancel, youth, and bell choirs, appearances in worship services for local musicians from the University of Northern Iowa and our neighboring community, and a free-to-the-public concerts featuring both local artists and invited guests. Another piece is a strong and abiding commitment to mission in the neighborhood where the church is located and beyond. Our congregation serves an array of causes including a neighborhood pantry, , volunteering at the Northeast Iowa Food Bank, Meals on Wheels, participation in Love In the Name of Christ (Love INC), and assistance to Grin & Grow Child Care Center (childcare for low-income families). We participate with Habitat for Humanity builds within our neighborhood. We have also sponsored disaster relief close to home and far away both with money and with labor. The treasure in this clay jar is searching for a spiritual leader. We would like this leader to help us deepen our faith, strengthen our numbers, and examine greater advocacy. We humbly, but proudly, ask those interested to set aside some quality time for study of our profile. |
