COMING SOON: the Family/Nurturing Center!
A space for families who need space. We love kids in the sanctuary, but sometimes families need to step out. With windows to see into the sanctuary and speakers to hear the service, the Family/Nurturing Center is the future home of Godly Play activities. Coming soon!

For those who wish to remain in the sanctuary during worship, these coloring sheets are the perfect addition to the sermon and Sunday liturgy. You can find the sheets, clipboards, and crayons right outside the sanctuary.
Our Whole Lives, together with Sexuality and Our Faith, helps participants make informed and responsible decisions about their relationships, health and behavior in the context of their faith. It equips participants with accurate, age-appropriate information in six subject areas: human development, relationships, personal skills, sexual behavior, sexual health, and society and culture. It provides not only facts about anatomy and human development, but helps participants to clarify their values, build interpersonal skills and understand the social, emotional and spiritual aspects of sexuality.
Here at First United Church of Christ, we are in the process of training new facilitators and hope to hold O.W.L. classes again in the near future. We look forward to collaborating with nearby SONKA churches in Southern Ohio, Northern Kentucky, and the Dayton region to bring more of this vital information and education to our congregations.

Our youth went to Washington D.C. from July 11-15, 2022! This trip was a great opportunity to not only help those in need, but also explore our nation’s capital with two people who have made the city their home: Maddie Weyand-Geise and Christina Bilz. Check out the video below for a recap and pictures from the trip!
