Summertime and the Churchin' Is...

Welcome to the home of First Congregational UCC in Baraboo on the web. Whether you're a current member or friend of the congregation, found us by a search, or are just browsing, I hope you'll find the website interesting and maybe there's something that will grab your attention and make you want to spend some "real time" with us on a Sunday morning!

Being summertime, things are a bit more slow-paced at church...and that's not a bad thing. Worship at 9:30 on Sunday mornings is more relaxed and casual, and gives a chance to come later (well, that is, if the rest of the year you're rushing to get the kids and/or yourself ready for "Christian Nurture" hour at 9 am), and leave earlier--having more of the day to enjoy the warm weather--or whatever it is you do. Worship tends to be more casual as well, with lots of singing and even some quiet moments. And I promise to try to keep the sermons on the brief side--when I'm not on vacation and one of our incredibly gifted and thoughtful ordained and lay members is fililng in (really, you won't get a second-rate sub).

If you haven't been to church for a while or maybe want to check out a congregation that is progressive and open-minded (kinda like Jesus was), a congregation that embraces worship tradition but is not enslaved to it and sometimes stretches out into new words and music and thoughts--then summer is a great time to join us--a rainbow people, open and affirming. We look forward to seeing you!

—See you in church! Pastor Doug
