Winter Clothing DriveWhat: Winter Clothing Drive and Distribution
When: Saturday, October 27 from 10:00am—1:00pm Where: Waterville Federated Church Why: Keep God’s people warm to show we care How: Give them warm clothing We are having a winter clothing drive and we need your help to make it a great blessing to our community! We seek to provide winter clothing—coats, gloves, hats, scarfs, snow pants, boots, warm shirts, etc.—to anyone who needs them. We are looking for new or gently used (and clean!) items in any size. You can bring your donations to the church starting right away. Preparation Party and Donation Blitz will be on Tuesday, October 23 from 5:00pm-8:00pm to collect donations and prepare for the distribution on Saturday. What You Can Do to Make it a Blessing: a. Donate clothing b. Spread the word with your neighbors and on social media. Look for the Facebook post on Pastor Seth's and the church's Facebook pages and share it. You can also forward this email to friends/neighbors and share the Drive flyer by clicking here. c. Serve on Tuesday/Saturday to help us get prepared and to welcome our guests. Contact Pastor Seth or the office to help. Sign-up sheet available on Sunday. The Federated Church is active in celebrating and sharing Jesus Christ!

The March-April 2018 Newsletter is Here!There are plenty of ways to encounter Jesus in community coming up, so we invite you to check out the newsletter here.
We look forward to seeing you in all ages Sunday School classes at 10:00 and worship at 11:00! Easter Sunday: Breakfast at 9:00, Worship at 10:00 See you soon! The aims of worship on Ash Wednesday are three: to reflect on our own mortality, sinfulness, and need for a savior; to renew our commitment to daily repentance and turn towards Christ; and to gratefully recall that Jesus has conquered sin and death on our behalf.
Our gathering will reflect these aims with meditative liturgy and music as well as being marked by ashes—which symbolize sorrow, mourning, frailty, and repentance. Ash Wednesday Worship is on February 14 at 6:00pm Our worship will last about 30-40 minutes and then you can jet off for that hot Valentine’s date! The January-February 2018 newsletter is available here. Inside you will find all kinds of information on what is happening at the Federated Church in the next couple of months. It's jam packed!
Also, please be careful in the icy conditions. The walkways at church are clear and will remain clear as close to 24/7 as we can get. However, we don't have the hundreds of pounds of salt it would take to de-ice the entire parking area. From 10:30-11:00, there will be people to assist you in walking from your car to the church. Pastor Seth will also be out there to park your car for you if you'd like to get out near the front walkway. If you need help de-icing areas around your house or need help safely navigating around, please don't hesitate to call the church, Pastor Seth, or your fellow members, and we will get something organized to keep you safe! Christmas Awesomeness This Sunday
