IN THE SPOTLIGHT

My heart, O God, is steadfast, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and make music. -Psalms 57:7

As UCC Fort Lauderdale celebrates our 70th anniversary, we are excited and hopeful to see where God is leading us into the next 70 years of our life together. As we look toward the future, the Legacy Campaign is an opportunity for us to invest in the campus and ministries of this beloved congregation as we continue to serve our neighbors, grow in faith, and welcome all into our sacred space.

THANK YOU UCC Congregation for your continued generosity!

Worship Service with Pastor Aaron Lauer

 

Starting Sunday, July 20, join us for a worship experience that combines popular music and theological reflection, as Pastor Aaron preaches his sermon series Songs in the Key of grace. For four Sundays, we will hear a pop song sung by a talented vocalist, and Pastor Aaron will reflect on the lyrics and story of the song as part of his sermon. Will your favorite song or artist be featured? The only way to find out is to join us for worship July 20 – August 10!

Worship service will be live-streamed and can also be viewed at any time on our website at LIVE WORSHIP
