For some people, worship is like buying a house. There are one or two features that they really love ( Have you seen this awesome kitchen? ) and the rest of the house is the structure they live in to have that awesome kitchen. Maybe it is the music, or the people, or the prayer, or the sermon, but for some there are one or two key elements and the rest is the stuff they could take or leave, either way. For others, worship is a progression, and if all the parts fit well, it is a bit like a weekly minipilgrimage. Maybe it is the people that make it for you. Or si ng in this sanctuary that somehow s ll echoes with the hymns and prayers of genera ons of people, maybe even genera- ons of your own family. Maybe you have your spot, or maybe you move around from Sunday to Sunday. Is it your par cipa on as a liturgist, usher, choir singer or acolyte that is most meaningful? Or is this the one me of the week that you stop and sit quietly? What is your experience of worship? Are there things that help you connect with God? Are there things that distract you? These ques ons are not trivial. And I hope the answers are more than I like this, or I do not like that. How is worship worshipful to you? I ask these ques ons to prime the pump, because I would like to sit down with church members and friends and hear your answers. Grace and Peace, Phil HOLY WEEK SCHEDULE The Chanticleer is a monthly newsletter, distributed to members and friends of First Congregational Church. We welcome most comments and articles.

2 News Care Commi ee During Pastor Phil s sabba cal, a small commi ee was formed to help out with pastoral visits to shut-ins and people in our church family who were in our prayer concerns. We telephoned, visited and prayed for members of both our church family and people of our community. I would like to con nue to implement this outreach and perhaps expand it to people who have been missing from our church services and let them know that they have been missed and that we care. We have the blessing of the Board of Progressive Dinner 2015 Sunday, April 26 5:30 pm Sign up con nues un l April 12 JOIN US! for the annual social event put together by Women's Fellowship: Progressive Dinner.

To par cipate, sign up on the poster in the Bess Fulton room BY SUNDAY, April 12 and you will receive your traveling and cooking assignments Sunday, April 19. We are always in need of hosts for both appe zer and dinner, consider signing on the line indica ng your willingness to host and provide the number you can accommodate. Trustees, Outreach Board and both Pastors. This would not replace pastoral visits, but hopefully enhance our outreach to those people who need visits and/or phone calls. Anyone interested in joining this group is encouraged to come to a kick-off mee ng on March 28th at 1:00 p.m. in the church Lounge. A follow-up mee ng at 10am Wednesday, April 1 will help us decide details; when and where is the best me and place, and how o en will we need to have subsequent mee ngs.

3 Commi ee News This is the first installment of a (hopefully!) monthly update of music happenings at our church. The bell choir will be ringing in the church service on Sunday, April 19th. It s always a treat when they add their music to our worship service! This month is a busy one for the Senior Choir. In addi on to singing during the regular Sunday services, we will be par cipa ng in the Good Friday service that is being hosted by our church. Join us Friday, April 3rd at 7 PM in the Sanctuary. A big event for the Senior Choir is that we will again be joining with the Olivet College Choir and St. Mary s Cathedral Choir (Lansing) in a joint choir concert on Sunday, April 12th at 3 PM in the Olivet Congrega onal Church. The three choirs will be singing two massed choir pieces, including Handel s Hallelujah Chorus from Messiah. Each choir will also sing several of their own pieces. Our choir will sing Make My Life a Song, joined by a flau st from the college, and Goin to the Holy City so we can rock the ra ers of the Olivet church! The concert is free and open to the public, so come support our choir and hear some wonderful music! Ramona Kime, for the music program Cra Day Saturday, April 11th 9 am to 4 pm Bess Fulton Room Stewards: noun: a person who looks a er the passengers on a ship, aircra, or train (OR CHURCH.) verb: manage or look a er (another's property). At coffee hour our Chris an Educa on Board did a special cra for Lent: a BLESSINGS JAR. It is used to write down blessings throughout Lent, add them to the jar, and on Easter the family will gather to read and be reminded of all the blessings they acknowledged during the Lenten season. Know that each and every one of YOU, si ng in the pews or reading this at home, is a BLESSING to this church. Our programs wouldn t be able to con nue without you, not just because of your financial support but your par cipa on and blessings of our ac vi es help make our church a light to the world. There will be a Bring Your Cra Day at the church in the Bess Fulton Room. We will have soup on so bring a snack of any kind and your cra ing projects. There will be a very simple cra project for the church that we need help with if you don t want to bring your own cra s for the day. If possible bring 2 x 3 spiral notebooks in a pack of 10. Any ques ons contact Jamie at
