Announcements

Summer 09 Furlough
In order to reduce expenses First Church is furloughing its staff and
buildings for two two-week periods: June 28-July 12 and August 9-23.
During this time we will be unable to respond to your inquiries as our programs
will be suspended, but we will continue to have Sunday worship and the
Farmington Food Pantry will remain open. This website will be updated
regularly and we will respond to any correspondence once we reopen.
Thank
you!
