The First Church of Christ in Hartford

Pray in secret, pray the Lord's Prayer, the "Power of Pray".. The Church and the Bible have a lot to say about prayer but what does it mean to have a "prayer culture" ? Come to worship this week for our next installment of our Summer Series "Rooted: Healthy People, Healthy Church," this week, all about prayer.

What does it mean to be a Bible-centered church? At it means that the wisdom of the Bible's ancient stories remind us that we are not alone - God is always with us - and we can use these ancient words to guide us through modern challenges.

The psalmist in Psalm 119 says, 'Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.' May it be so, Amen.

This Summer, Pastor Liza & Brother Eric will navigate us through a sermon series called Rooted: Healthy People, Healthy Church. We will explore the fifteen dimensions of Church health, divided into three buckets: nurturing, sending and leading.

Each week, as we explore a different dimension, there will be opportunities to directly engage with the dimension and with one another as we unpack the rich results of the survey we took at Annual Meeting.

This week Pastor Liza will lead us in worship, celebrate Holy Communion, and together, around tables, we'll discuss what it means to be "Bible Centered." Join us for worship, starting at 10 AM, a t60 Gold St., Hartford.

God looked at the first human and declared, 'It is not good for one to be alone.' Aloneness is a brokenness in creation. Community is the cure; from Genesis to Acts, God demonstrates again and again that God wants us to be in community with one another and with God. May it be so, at and in the world.

On this first day of Pride, we want to remind you that God's Desire is for us to be in a Community where everyone feels belonging. Belonging isn't just a nice-to-have; it's fundamental to who we are. The Bible consistently shows God forming a community, not just individuals, called to love each other and demonstrate true love to the world. Let us do all we can to create the community that God desires for everyone; May it be so.
