Celebrate 150 Years of First Congo!

Update: advance tickets available at Brown Paper Tickets

Dear members and friends of FCCO,

We will be celebrating the 150th anniversary of First Congregational Church of Oakland with a powerful expressive arts worship, a craft fair and reception on Friday evening, November 19, starting at 7pm, and we really want you to join us in celebrating "150 Years Toward Justice." Worship will be led by some of the best choirs, singers, liturgical dancers, and mimes in the Bay area, including East Bay Anointed Voices and Sista Monica Parker. We will be reaching out to sister churches and organizations to invite them to worship with us.

For advance tickets contact Angel Starr at angeloftheeastbay@gmail.com, 510-938-4913, or Loren at lorenzini@juno.com , 510-625-1209.

Contact Angel if you want to place an ad for your business in our event program. We'll have informational packets available at the church that you can pick up with the sizes, cost, etc.

And join us for some holiday creativity on November 7th (this coming Sunday)after church in the Children, Youth and Families room. We'll be decorating salt-dough ornaments and creating other ornaments from old Christmas cards and other reused materials to sell as part of the craft fair. If you are interested in donating hand-made crafts to be sold at the craft fair, please get in touch with Dawn Raymond at (510)625-1209.

Have fun and help create community.

Blessing,
Carol Robison
