Call for the Annual Meeting Sunday, February 10, 2019 10:45 in the Sanctuary The leadership Council of the First Congregational Church of Dalton calls for the Annual Meeting of the church to take place on Sunday, February 10th 2019 at 10:45 in the church sanctuary. The meeting is for the purpose of: 1. Election of officers and members of boards and committees required by the bylaws. 2. Receiving annual reports from the officers and organizations of church work. 3. Voting the annual budget. 4. Transact any other business properly brought before this meeting. A note from Stewardship: Our theme for this year is “Spreading God’s Beacon of Light”- We asked you to imagine our church as a lighthouse in our community serving as a beacon of God’s continuous love. Our goal for the 2019 budget is 135,000.00 that will be voted on at the Annual Meeting on Feb. 10th, to date we are at 124,624.00. We thank you for taking the time to pledge. We are so grateful to all of you and ask that if you haven’t pledged yet there is still time. Anything helps; a one-time pledge, weekly or monthly pledge, this will continue to help spread God's Love into the greater community and at the same time help to maintain our “lighthouse”. Thank you again and God Bless.

We at First Congregational Church help each week in supporting the Dalton Loaves and Fishes food pantry at the Dalton United Methdist Church. We recently learned that the food pantry inventory is almost gone. Please help restock this critical need. You can drop off food items with us and we will deliver, or you can drop off direct with the Dalton United Methodist Church.
