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, May 18, 2008, the scripture lesson is taken from Philippians 2: 3-4. The message to be shared is entitled, "Honoring and Remembering Others". 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.

Each year our church participates in the Hanson Memorial Day Parade and we invite any persons interested in walking with our float to join us that morning for all the fun. Kids are highly encouraged to join the parade and will need a signed Permission Slip available in the Church Office or on the day of the parade. The parade starts at 9:00 a.m. Immediately after the parade, please join us in our Sanctuary for a Worship Service in Memorial to those who went on ahead of us; military or civilian. This service gives us a prayerful time together to reflect on our loved ones who have passed. You will be able to offer up the names of those you want to remember during the service.

On behalf of YAF and our JYF kids, we are so excited to announce that these groups raised $1100 for Old Colony Hospice. Although the weather was icky and they ended the walk early a great time was had by all with the proceeds going to a very important cause in our area. Thank you for your support and prayers for this event.

Church members are highly encouraged to be at Worship the first Sunday in May when Church Council presents to the Congregation the status of our current Search for a Youth and Family Pastor and to give the church a realistic view of the current needs of our growing church in this area. Details will be shared including the goals and costs of a full time Associate Pastor, and the commitment of the congregation to this Pastor.

Our Missions Board has started its annual Mother's Day project and will be in the Fellowship Hall to accept your donations and information to be included on our In Memory Of or Honor Of letters that will be sent out to your mother. Donations benefit the Claremont House (formally known as St. John’s Women’s Shelter). A great way to remember Mom while helping a wonderful cause. This Sunday, May 4th, will be the last Sunday for donations.

A prayer vigil is a time set aside for prayer, meditation, reading and song to the glory of God. God calls us to incorporate prayer into our personal lives and into our corporate life as the body of Christ. The Deacons invite you to join with your fellow Christians in a 24hr Prayer Vigil, uplifting prayers to our merciful Father through the power of Jesus’ name. This Vigil, held at the church, will focus on several significant themes in the life of our church and to our congregation at this time. Those themes include:

On Saturday April 12th (and April 19th if not completed on the 12th). We will be cleaning out the attic and Upper Room areas so construction may begin. Anyone that may have put something in the Attic in the past and want to keep it should come and claim it. Most items will be discarded. We could use any help you can provide would be appreciated. If you didn't know we had an attic now is a good time to see it so please come on by. We will start at 9:00 a.m. both days (hopefully just one).

Many hands make light work! Please come and help clean up the church (inside and out) in time for Easter Sunday. There will be coffee, donuts, and a nice opportunity to serve. Please consider chipping in and bring a rake and/or broom.

"We cannot but admit that not even the least thing takes place unless it is ordered by God. For who have ever been so concerned and curious as to find out how much hair he has on his head? There is no one. God, however, knows the number. Indeed, nothing is too small in us or in any other creature, not to be ordered by the all-knowing and all-powerful providence of God."
-- Huldryrch Zwingli
