Adult Bible Study - Belong. The Fall the theme is “Belong”. The intro to the Teacher’s guide says this:
“Our lessons this quarter focus on what it means to belong to God and to one another, to be the ‘church’. They challenge us to identify and remove the distinctions that restrict membership within the community of Christ. Once we enter the church through baptism, the central identity marker is participation in Communion. Paul’s teachings about it reminds us not only that the meal constitutes the community, but also what sort of community we are to be.”
Please join us each Sunday morning at 9:30 AM for good conversation.
AND YES – YOU BELONG!

About Us
Worship
Worship is at the heart of our life. Each Sunday when we gather we come just as we are and immerse oursleves once more into our sacred story.
Far from being a gathering of the perfect, we come to encounter the living God who knows us through and through and whose love embraces and transforms us.
Each week we gather to tell our story by recalling the paths of our ancestors in faith, those imperfect women and men who became shining lights down through the generations. We also come to tell the story of Jesus and to realize once again what it means to follow in the way he laid out.
We also come to support one another, to pray for one another, and to rejoice with one another.
Come, join us!
Faith Formation
As followers of Jesus we are constantly being formed. From our very earliest days to the day we die we are on a path that opens us up to new ideas, possibilities, and plans, and invites us to a life of transformed and transforming love.
We at Flicksville UCC, sense the importance of life-long learning as we look to grow into the future. At every stage of life there are opportunities to engage with the Bible, with our faith, and with our work in the world.
Throughout the year there are offerings for children, youth, and adults as well as multi-generational experiences, which draw us deeper to what it means to live as God's people in the world today.
The confirmation process begins in September of the year and finishes on Pentecost Sunday, usually the end of May or early June. The process is open to any 7th or 8th grader who would like to explore their faith more deeply and who are interested in adult membership within the congregation. Regardless of whether a young person decides to enter into formal membership they are welcome to journey along with others to explore their faith.
Confirmation is a process that engages a young person in specific areas of faith formation: the Bible, what it means to "believe", being of service to others, and exploring the Christian faith, are among the topics for discussion. After a year-long series of meetings and projects each confirmand can decide whether to formally join the congregation as an adult member.
Children
Children are not only our future, they are also our present. As a congregation that values our children we strive to provide the best experences for them--experiences that will encourage their faith, their sense of belonging, and their confidence in the God who loves them without limit or condition.
- For children in first through eighth grades we provide a Sunday school class every Sunday September through June.

World Communion Sunday
World Communion Sunday takes place on October 3, 2021. World Communion Sunday is a celebration observed by several Christian denominations, taking place on the first Sunday of every October, that promotes Christian unity and ecumenical cooperation. The tradition originated in the Shadyside Presbyterian Church in 1933, was adopted throughout the US Presbyterian Church in 1936, and subsequently spread to other denominations. In 1940, the Federal Council of Churches (now the National Council of Churches), led by Jesse Moren Bader, endorsed World Communion Sunday, and began to promote it to Christian churches worldwide.
The key word for World Communion Sunday is communion, or unity. It is a day when we mark the almost universal Christian practice of breaking bread with one another and remembering both the night of Jesus’ betrayal—when Jesus instituted what we now call the Lord’s Supper as a lasting remembrance—and of Jesus’ sacrifice. So, accounts of the last supper feature prominently, by virtue of World Communion Sunday being a celebration of the Eucharist. But there is a flavor of the Christian celebration of Pentecost as well, when people from around the Mediterranean world came together in mutual understanding and inspiration, by the power of the Holy Spirit. World Communion Sunday is a time for remembering that around the globe—in different languages, with different traditions and customs, and in various forms of liturgy—the Lord’s Supper is celebrated throughout Christendom. At its best, therefore, World Communion Sunday serves two purposes: it is both a joyous and meaningful partaking in Jesus’ sacred meal with his friends and a mind-opening exposure to different Christian traditions from around the world.
