Back to Church Sunday – a first for PCCUCC!

This September 21st, Provo Community Congregational United Church of Christ will join with thousands of churches nationwide for Back to Church Sunday. Provo Community Congregational United Church of Christ is inviting everyone in the Utah Valley area to come for this special service that will feature a messages from Adrienne Rossetti and Alex Brown, with music by David Lewis, Adrienne Rossetti, Bret Pope, and Lousie Johnson. Everyone is welcome to attend.

With the recent statistics and studies showing that loneliness is a real issue in our culture, we want our community to know that our church, and really every church, is here as a resource and a place where people can connect, make friends and find support for when life gets hard.

This year’s Back to Church Sunday campaign is designed around a “Life is Better Together” theme, encouraging current church attenders to invite friends and neighbors to overcome loneliness and find connection, support, and hope available at a local church. As well as discovering the deeper, spiritual benefits that faith can provide.

National Back to Church Sunday is a day focused on uniting the church to equip and empower their members to be inviters. Eight out of ten people say they are open to visiting church if invited—they are just waiting for an invitation.

Join us Sunday, September 21st at 11am ! Invite your friends and family. We look forward to meeting you!

April Art Stroll to feature artist David Habben in new collection of works

David will showcase a new original series of drawing for the Stations of the Cross.

The resulting effort is fifteen drawings which follow the traditional path of Christ from condemnation to crucifixion.

The artist will be available to speak about the process of creating this collection and the meaning behind the pieces with questions to follow.
