Dear friends,

It is with heavy hearts that we write to share that Laura Glassman died this past Saturday.

In her brief time at First Church, Laura became cherished by so many. We are deeply grateful for her generous heart, her creative spirit and her abiding love.

We are in conversation with her family and will share details soon about a celebration of her life.

As always, if you are in need of pastoral or emotional support, please reach out. Revs. Chris and Martha, along with the Community Care Team, are here for you.

So much love to you all,
Rev. Chris and the FCB Staff
