Dear Folks,
Looks like we are in for a little
snow today. Stay safe!
This coming Thursday, January 14,
is my prayer day. If you have any joys or concerns you would
like me to raise up, please let me know.
This coming Saturday, January 16,
is our Habitat for Humanity work day. If you would like more
information, contact Bob Moseley.
Also this Saturday is Ruth
Derosier's funeral at the First Congregational Church of Stratford,
UCC at 10:30 A.M. Ruth was Gertrude Wilson's sister.
Please take a moment and drop Gertrude a card at: c/o Lord
Chamberlain, 7003 Main Street, Room 313, Straford, CT

This coming Sunday, January 17,
the scripture is John 2:1-11. The sermon is "Turning the
Common Uncommon".
This Sunday, we will also be
taking an offering for Unity Hill UCC's mission trip to Haiti. The
participants will be assisting "Haitian Helping Hands", an
organization focused on helping the people of Haiti through
rebuilding a sponsored church, educating children through the
Cornerstone School, and legally marrying couples who cannot afford
a wedding. Please be generous!
Connie Glenn will be traveling to
Guatemala on a medical mission trip in early February. The
following are the products that are needed. If you are able to
donate one or more, please leave them in the alcove for Connie to
pick up before she leaves: Vapor rub (little bottles), Vagisil,
children's cough and cold medicine, children's Benadryl liquid,
adult and infant vitamins, Tylenol and infant Tylenol, Simethicone
drops, and soap. Monetary donations are also welcome.
The bin from My Sister’s
Place is back in Fellowship Hall for you to make your tax
deductible donations. It will be there until the end of
April. Please fill out a form, take your copy and attach or enclose
their copy in with your items.
A reminder that our Annual
Meeting will be held on Sunday, January 24 following the worship
service. This is a very important meeting. Besides the
usual business of voting on the Annual Report, Church Officers, and
the Budget, we will also be voting on becoming an Open and
Affirming Congregation.
Let us pray. as we face the
ever changing landscape of our lives, O God, keep us secure in the
knowledge that your unconditional love never changes. You are
always present. Amen.
In Christ's love,
Rev. Lucille
