This Sunday is Easter!
This coming Sunday, April 5, is Easter Sunday! We hope you will join us for our celebration of the Resurrection with special music, an Easter message from Rev. Karin Kilpatric, and our annual Easter Egg Hunt for our kids.

On the first Sunday in Lent, we participated in a practice of "letting go". Letting go of those things that weigh us down, that cause pain, anxiety, fear...

Is there something that would benefit your spirit if you let it go? Join us in the letting go!

Today is Ash Wednesday, the beginning of the season of Lent.

This is a season of reflection, looking toward the light of Easter. The word “Lent” comes from the old English word for lengthen – the lengthening days of spring. It is a time of preparation with forty days of fasting and reflection.

We hope you will join us during this season of reflection.

🏈🥣 Souper Bowl of Caring – Noisy Collection! 🥣🏈

Start collecting those coins! On Sunday, February 8 (Super Bowl Sunday), First United Church of Arvada will hold our annual Souper Bowl of Caring / Noisy Collection — and we want to hear you make some noise!

Our kids and youth will be collecting loose change during worship (cash and checks are welcome too!), with all donations going to Community Table to help meet the growing needs right here in our community. We’ll also be collecting non-perishable food items.

As we cheer on our favorite teams, let’s also come together to tackle hunger and share God’s love in a tangible way. 💙
Thank you for helping however you can!

🐭🎄 Mouse House Christmas Shop – Coming December 14! 🎁🐭

The Mouse House Christmas Shop is a treasured tradition at First United Church of Arvada — a special opportunity for children to shop for gifts for family and friends for just a quarter or two per item! Every gift is donated by our generous congregation.

🗓️ Mouse House will take place Sunday, December 14, after worship.
All proceeds will be donated by Christian Education to an organization in need.

🤝 Volunteers needed!
We are also looking for helpers to assist kids while they shop and to work at the wrapping table. If you are available, please contact the Church Office — we’d love your help!

🎁 If you have items kids would enjoy giving, please start gathering them now and bring them to the church. We’re looking for very gently used items or new items (especially things like lotions, candles, and small gift items), as well as gift bags and tissue paper.

Thank you for supporting this sweet tradition and helping our children experience the joy of giving. 💛
