Thank you to all who came to support the Boxes to Boots Wrapping Event at New Britain High School.  We wrapped presents for service men and women who will be overseas for the holidays.  This was our 4th year supporting this mission.

PRUDENCE CRANDALL MEAL MAKING

On the third Thursday of the month, which will be November 21st, we will make a meal at the church that will be delivered to the women and children who are staying at the Prudence Crandall shelter or safehouse.  To accommodate all who would like to participate, we meet from 10 to noon for meal preparations and then again at 5 pm to finish cooking the meal. Once the meal is completed and packed for delivery another day, we gather for a meal and fellowship.  Upcoming dates are December 19th, January 16th, February 20th, March 20th, April 17th, May 15th and June 19th.

 

COFFEE HOUR NEEDS

Volunteers are always needed to help with Coffee Hour, especially during the holidays.  Also, our usual volunteer is having surger.  If someone would like to take over for a Sunday or two, please speak up!!!  We also like to have a special “kid friendly” treat when Sunday School meets, on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of the month.  We will have the cart set up for Sunday with a “to do” sheet on it. We will make coffee, so the host just needs to wheel the cart out and set things up.  If you are able to help, please contact Julie or Joyce.
