NEW!  A small food pantry has been set up in the hallway to the fellowship hall.  This is, for now, setup to assist anyone in our congregation that may need this food. There will be plastic bags on the side for you to help yourself. We do not need to know who is using it, it is only our hope that it helps.

To make this get started and continue to work, we ask that when you are shopping pick up an extra item or two, especially when it is on sale, and bring it to church.  There will be a basket in the front of the church and in the fellowship hall.

Here is a list of items that are recommended.  Please try to stick with this list, so we know that there are items for a balanced meal.

1.   Tuna Fish (water preferred)
2.    Peanut butter

NEW! In response to the needs in Haiti, the Missions Team has allocated $1000.00 to go to Partners in Health.  Please check out the link at www.pih.org.  PIH have been in Haiti for over 20 years seeing to the needs of their people.  Here are some quick facts about this organization.
 
  • PIH was founded in 1987 by Dr. Paul Farmer.
  • 98% of the people are members of the communities where they work.
  • 94% of the monies raised go to programs and medicines.
  • PIH works closely with major US research hospitals to develop cures for AIDS, TB, and Malaria.
We feel that PIH will spend the money wisely and will continue to work in Haiti long after the media cameras are gone.  If you would like to add to this money, there are boxes in the church or you can send mony to the church marked PIH.

"The Little Church Where Big Things Happen!" 
The First Congregational Church of Riga United Church of Christ welcomes you to worship with us.  On this website you will find information about our worship services and the ministries we provide for both children and adults.

Inspirational Worship

Worship is the heart of our local congregation's life.  It forms the basis for our understanding of God and of our purpose.  We are a family church with a wide variety of traditions.  We embrace the radical welcome proclaimed by Jesus Christ:  No matter who you are or where you are on your life's journey, you are welcome here.  It is our prayer that all who walk through our doors feel this warmth and become part of our family.  

 Rev. Alan Dailey
