Easter Sunday celebration of the Resurrection

During our Saturday evening gatherings, the

Underground Church travels back to our earliest

Christian roots. We seek to recapture the excitement and community of Jesus' early followers through worship that is simple yet profound, communal yet personal, comforting yet inspiring. We live the questions much as Jesus' friends did as they sought ways to transform the world through the simple acts of a shared and loving community. We will gather at the home of Deb and Julie Matz-Rees (please RSVP to Julie at juliemarie.matz@gmail.com) and join us in the transformative power of opening hearts to the Holy Spirit and to each other.

Need a ride? "The Underground Church Express" will meet you in the FCC parking lot, drive you to our meeting place and drive you back after our gathering! Just be in the parking lot behind the church at 4:15PM and a member of the Underground Church family will be there to greet you.

Come take your soul for a healing walk ...with a wonderful group of " labyrinth keepers" to guide you and answer your questions. If you’ve never walked the labyrinth come out and give it a try. It is a wonderful way to nourish your soul and spend some quiet time in prayer or meditation, or just some quiet time. Each week two dedicated “Labyrinth Keepers” are present to help you get started or to answer your questions. Go to our "Worship/Walk the labyrinth" tab to learn more and to see a video on the labyrinth. Hope to see you soon.

Mark your calendars for Sunday May 5 to attend a special Congregational Info Session immediately after worship.

Since our kick off meeting last November, the FCC Source Task Force has been meeting regularly with our Community Advisory Committee of experts to help us understand the best strategy for leveraging our building and continuing to thrive into the future. We have learned a great deal which is shifting our direction a bit, and we'd love to share the latest information and financial updates with the congregation.

We are collecting new and gently used items for our yard sale (please, no clothes). Just like last year, you can drop off your donations in the Guild Room (near the fireplace area) weekdays from 9:30am to 5pm, but please give the office a quick call before coming by, if possible (973-744-4856.) There is no one in the office on Saturdays to let you in so that's not a good day.
To make things a little bit easier, we’d like to ask that if you are donating books, to put them in shopping bags. Also, please clean/dust off your items before bringing them in.

We are looking for volunteers to help with cleaning, sorting and pricing, so if you’d like to help out please let Deb Duhamel or Anne Garty know. Also, if you can help the day of the sale (for a few hours or the entire day) let us know. We ALWAYS have a great time!

Any questions, please contact: Deb Duhamel 857-891-0951 debbieduhamel@hotmail.com or
Anne Garty 973-746-8309 agarty14@comcast.net
