Dear Folks,
We celebrated Robert
Wilson/Children's Sunday this past Sunday. It was a great
morning! Thank you to all of our Sunday School teachers and
assistants. Special thank you to our Director of Christian
Education, Kirsten Keith! And, much appreciation to Gertrude
Wilson for the ice cream!
This Sunday is Graduate
Sunday. The scripture is Mark 4:35-41. The sermon is
"Why Are You Afraid?".
On Sunday, June 28, following our
worship service, we will have our first Open and Affirming
event. We will be outlining the process and gathering your
questions, comments, and concerns. Please make every effort
to attend!
"My Sister's Place" in Ansonia
has placed a bin in Fellowship Hall to collect clean, gently used
clothes, accessories, and small household items. No furniture (you
can take it yourself to the store), baby equipment, old books and
magazines, stuff animals, or broken/more than 5 year old
electronics, including computers. Donation slips for tax
purposes will be available. The proceeds of "My Sister's Place" go
to BHCare's "Umbrella" Center for Domestic Violence Services to aid
domestic abuse victims and their children. What a great way
to clean out the closets and help those in need. It's a
win-win!!!
Vacation Bible School is coming
up, June 28 through July 1 (PLEASE NOTE DATE CHANGE), 5:30 P.M. to
7:45 P.M. The theme is "G-Force". Grab a
registration form for your children or friends that might enjoy
this great program in the alcove or volunteer to help. This is
for children who have completed at least one year of preschool-
4th grade. Food donations are also needed and will
soon be hung up in the alcove as well. We also need someone who
would be willing to cook on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.
Please consider helping us bring children closer to God. Any
questions please contact Kirsten Keith at 203-929-4225.
As an outreach and to get the
news of HCCUCC out to the community, the Vitality Team gives out
free water and holds a free gift card give away each Wednesday
evening during the Concerts on the Green. If anyone would like to
help out, you are more than welcome to come on out and/or donate a
$25 gift card to a local store or eating place. Please consider
it! The first "gig" is June 24. Contact Rev. Lucille
for more info.
Let us pray.
O Gracious God, may we always
trust in your love and guidance, even when things seem all a
mess. May we trust that you walk with us, even when we feel
the most alone. Amen.
In Christ;'s love,
Rev. Lucille
