This Week

Dear Folks,

The skies are getting dark; storm clouds are rolling in.  Sort of reminds me of last Sunday's scripture reading.  Thank goodness we are not in a boat on the Sea of Galilee!

The scripture for Sunday, June 28 is Mark 5:21-43.  The sermon is "Talitha Cum!"

Following the service on Sunday, 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!  If you are unable today, information will be available in the Alcove.

Vacation Bible School starts Sunday, June 28 and goes through July 1.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. 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 and the Men's Fellowship sells hot dogs 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 this Wednesday, June 24.  Stop by and say hi!  Contact Rev. Lucille for more info.

O God of strength, may we always look to you for our comfort and our courage when faced with the scary things of life.  Help us to face our fears with faith, hope, and love.  Amen.

In Christ's love,
Rev. Lucille
