First
Congregational-United Church of Christ
Lee Center, Illinois
Worship services are held at 10:30 a.m. on Sunday morning. We offer a fairly traditional order of worship with several hymns, readings from Scripture, and a message that relates biblical teachings to everyday life. There is also typically a message geared especially toward youth.
We celebrate the Lord's Supper on the first Sunday of each quarter. We gather around an "open table," which means that one does not have to be a member of this congregation or denomination to participate. It is the Lord's table, and all who profess Jesus as Lord are welcome.
We also host the Community Thanksgiving Eve service each year when we welcome our friends and neighbors from around the area to this special seasonal worship, (with a dessert reception that follows!). In addition, we participate in the Harvest Fest and Easter community worship services.
Each Memorial Day, we hold a special service to honor and remember those who sacrificed of themselves for our freedoms.
Although we are small in membership, we are blessed with an array of musical talent that really enhances the worship experience, to God's glory. Whenever we gather together, we always remember the reason that we are there: to worship God in voice and prayer and song.
