A MESSAGE FROM REV. LINDSEY ALTVATER CLIFTON: CELEBRATING OUR COMMUNITY
Greetings friends,
Somehow, we’re at the start of October! A reminder that we’ll worship together with one service at 10:00 a.m. in the Sanctuary this week for World Communion Sunday, then enjoy a potluck lunch afterwards. Hopefully outside – if the weather cooperates! Please bring a dish to share if you can. (Perhaps one that reflects your family heritage.) If you aren’t able to bring something, that’s OK; please stay anyway!
As we move into the fall, we want you to save 
an important date: Sunday, Nov. 15.
That day, we’ll gather for one combined worship service at 11:15 a.m. in the Sanctuary to celebrate our 151st Anniversary and dedicate our 2027 pledges. Then we’ll move into Fellowship Hall for a special catered Fellowship Luncheon.
Later that afternoon at 4:00 p.m., we’ll gather again in the Sanctuary for Blessings & Memories: A Musical Celebration of Place. Our chancel choir will be joined by friends from other local choral groups as we give thanks in word and song for the gifts of the space which our faith community has called home since 1957.
A number of past FPCB clergy will join us in for this big day! We know you’ll enjoy seeing these familiar faces and reconnecting with some of the folks who have helped nurture your faith and guide our congregation along the way.
We hope you’ll make plans to join us as we offer gratitude for and begin to say farewell-for-now to 2344 Center St. Even amidst the tenderness, it is sure to be a meaningful, Spirit-filled day!
With thanks for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Lindsey
