We have all noticed that our Webpage is a bit outdated and looks.. well rather dated. So we are hard at work building a new, fancy, and snazzy (well for Quakers) website.
We hope if all goes well it should be ready before the new year.
So yes, we are still here, so if your looking to find out more info, or just want to come to a meeting. Then we welcome you to attend.

Meeting Update
Hello Friends
The Weekly meeting is trying out a new room for meeting that will hopefully be more quiet, then our previous one, it is a bit smaller but comes with its own restroom, and is a bit cheaper then our previous room.
We will be trying out this new room for the next 2 months and then see what the group thinks of it.
The new room for meeting is room #5 which is just a few more doors down on the left if you are looking at our meeting room Door, and you can always look for out meeting sign board.
hope to see you at meeting.

A light too quickly faded
It is with great sadness and heavy heart that we have to say goodbye to Pastor Steven Todd Willis.
On, July 30th 2018, Pastor Willis and his Wife Sheri were celebrating their first wedding anniversary with a trip to Alaska, when in a tragic turn, their canoe capsized, Sheri and the other passengers survived the ordeal but Pastor Willis did not.
Pastor Willis, you will be missed, you were the face, and heart of the First Christian Church, not to mention a friend to all.
Your light may have faded, but it has not been extinguished, and it shall shine even brighter in the Kingdom of God.
Rest well our friend.

World Quaker Day 2014
World Quaker Day 2014 Tomorrow we will be celebrating World Quaker Day, Friends World Committee is the group that is responsible for hosting this event. The idea behind the event is:
As the sun rises in each area of the world, we want to remember that Quakers are worshiping through every time zone, celebrating our deep connections across cultures and Quaker traditions. We are united in love and can accompany each other on this special day that draws us together. As we worship, let us hold each other in prayer and thanksgiving, and let our hymns of praise resound across the world. The theme Let Your Life Speak: Living the Kabarak Call for Peace and Ecojustice, connects us to the work we did at the World Conference of Friends in 2012 in Kenya, taking the work forward in the context of our spiritual communities.
We will be meeting at a Members house this Sunday (1st Day) to enjoy in the celebration. If you would like to attend then please email me at [email protected]
We will post pictures of this event as the come about.
Update:
We had a great time at the World Quaker Day meetup. We had a good group of approximately 9 in attendance, a great host and an Awesome assortment of store bought and home cooked food.Jennifer was gracious enough to host this event, thank you Jennifer for an amazing meetup.
