WELCOME TO THE FIRST CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH IN HANSON !
Are you looking...
...for a place to belong?
...for a place to be loved?
...for God?
Our church has a welcoming atmosphere where you can
feel at home for the first time or for a lifetime.
On Sunday mornings we offer two worship experiences:
- A Traditional Service at 9:00 a.m. which features hymns, a Biblically
based message and special music from our wonderful organist and Senior choir. This service celebrates the traditional pilgrim worship that brought us here. Nursery is available.
- Our 11:00 a.m. Worship Service is for individuals and young families
who desire a less formal atmosphere - It features a full band, lively worship, dramas and a
Biblically based message which connects with our daily lives. During the school year, all Sunday School classes attend the first 15-20 minutes of this service for cool praise and worship songs and a brief message before heading off to class.
Nursery is also available.
- Following the 9:00 a.m. service, there will be a full hour of coffee and fellowship. All are encouraged to come early or stay later to cross paths with brothers and sisters in the church family. Coffee and fellowship will also follow the 11:00 a.m. service.
This Sunday, July 5, 2009, the scripture lesson is taken from Matthew 5:43-44; Romans 12:17-21 , Colossians 3:12-14, and more. The message to be shared is entitled, "Building FORMS for Forgiveness". Please join us at one of these wonderful worship services.
Following each worship service we offer a great time for making new
friends in our Fellowship Hall.
Our children also have a chance to worship, make friends and learn about God:
During the school year, we offer a comprehensive, developmental, Bible-based Sunday School program for children aged three through Grade 12.
All classes meet at 11:00 AM. Nursery is available all
morning.
What you experience on Sunday morning is only a small picture of what our
church has to offer. We have activities Prayer Groups, mid-week Bible
Studies, and Family nights. We encourage you to touch on some of the ministry links on this website to
learn more about us.

Please consider this an invitation to come and join us in Fellowship as we celebrate the close of our program year of Sunday School. The Christian Education Committee is gearing up for Sunday which is Children's Sunday and the BBQ which follows the 11:00 a.m. Worship. There will be a Traditional Worship at 9:00 a.m.
We could really use your help for the BBQ as we are in need of salads, side dishes, and desserts for this event. CE supplies the burgers and hot dogs, drink and the paper goods, but we want you to share a specialty item with us for our BBQ. There are no sign-up sheets, just bring a favorite! Anything you could bring would be helpful.
Thank you for your consideration. Any questions, please contact the church office. We'll see you on Children's Sunday!

In the Fellowship Hall you will find a large sheet of drywall (wallboard) that has many "Golden Envelopes" attached. Each envelope represents $10.00 (a sheet of premium drywall) for the Upper Room. By taking one and contributing the amount listed for a sheet of drywall, you can help towards finishing another phase of construction for the Upper Room for our youth. Envelopes can be returned to the red toolbox by the display in the Fellowship Hall or drop off at the Church Office. Thanks for your help!

"The neglected heart will soon be a heart overrun with worldly thoughts; the neglected life will soon become a moral chaos; the church that is not jealously protected by mighty intercession and sacrificial labors will before long become the abode of every evil bird and the hiding place for unsuspected corruption. The creeping wilderness will soon take over that church that trusts in its own strength and forgets to watch and pray."
-- A.W. Tozer
