Organ Benefit Concert

Yesterday, Sunday, October 14, 2012, was a busy one at First Congregational UCC.

The worship service was the kick-off for the Stewardship effort of the church in preparation for next year.  The sermon was "Give God the Best" and there was an additional stewardship speaker from the congregation, Katie Harle.

There was a Mission Fair that ran all day.  There were several tables selling gifts and fair trade items from around the world.  Our Illinois Maya Missions sponsored a table, selling Mayan craft items.

At 3:00 pm there was a concert to benefit a fund to improve and repair the pipe organ of the church.  The Quad City Brass, Chancel Choir, Bell Choir and a sporano soloist were featured.  A highlight was a solo by organist Dalaie Choi, the church organist.

The concert was followed by a Chili supper to benefit Christian Care.  The chili was good.

Busy as this sounds, each activity seemed to compliment the others.
