140 years in the Community
On April 21, several members of our congregation participated in "30 minute makeover" sponsored by the Maywood Village Environmental Beautification commission. They spent several hours in the community picking up litter and debris.
On April 23rd member Karen Skinner handed out free books as part of "World Book Night" These were brand new best sellers!
Once again members wrote cards to our service personnel during the season of Lent. We are so appreciative of the work that our service men and women do!
We are grateful of the outreach we can do to help and share the love Jesus showed to us.
Please join us in 2012!.
Hello! We welcome you to our Internet presence. We’re glad you came to visit!
Our MISSION STATEMENT
We, the First Congregational Church of Maywood; bound only by the leadership of Christ, worship together and study together to learn God's will. As followers of Christ Jesus and believers in God's Holy Word, we live our faith in ways seen and unseen and bring families and neighbors together in a spirit of warmth and welcoming fellowship, that we may know God more and make Him known in our community and the world.
Life here at First Congregational, centers on Sunday worship. We are a community of saints (believers of Christ), gathered about Christ – a mutual promise we make one to another. Spending time together in the Holy presence of God; listening to His Word, recalling God’s grace made manifest in our lives and His faithfulness toward generations past; all characterize our weekly meeting.
We share the sacrament of Holy Communion on the first Sunday of the month, remembering how Christ used the simple elements of bread and wine to leave with us a sign, recurring and enduring, of His love for His children.
Bottom line: we are a family of faith. Family and community are very important here at First. To that end, we provide opportunities for neighbors to get together and for families to come together; young and old, working, playing and praying together; committed to loving the Lord and one another.
What they are saying about us...
"This is a house of God that feels like home!"

A friend invited me to First to attend an Easter service. I went back again, and again, off and on, for over a year. One day it hit me, I had found Home. Pastor Elliot and the congregation are so warm, they have truly become my extended family.

-Michael Mims
I didn't even know I was looking for a church home until I found it (although Pastor Elliot would say that God found me, and brought me here) I prepared myself to be as removed and uncomfortable as I had been in the churches of my youth. And boy, was I surprised! At First, all there is, is the truth. And all I had to do was hear it, and know it.
Karen Skinner,
