Dear FCC, it is so hard to lose my best friend, Richard. He had several cardiac arrests. He never woke up, didn’t know what had happened to him and did not suffer. He peacefully went to be with our Lord.

Update from Rev. Jake M. Caldwell

Dear Friends,

I'm sure by now you have heard that Governor Larry Hogan has mandated the closure of all non-essential businesses in Maryland. The First Christian Church office will be closed beginning on Tuesday, March 24th. I wanted to make you aware of how this will impact some vital functions of the congregation until we are able to return to normal operations.
