Blessed for School! UMW Supplies Prepare our Community Children for Success

Thanks to our church's United Methodist Women, our church was able to provide important supplies to the students and teachers beginning a new school year in our South Meriden neighborhood at Hanover Elementary School. Paper and pencils still matter, but so do tissues and hand sanitizer to keep colds from spreading, as well as healthy snacks that teachers can give to truly hungry students. Pastor John blessed these supplies at our altar before bringing them to the school, and blessed students and families walking to school. Let's pray that they all have a successful and exciting new year of learning!

We are a church in search of authentic Christian faith - faith that brought people into the salvation of God 1,800 years ago in a small town in Syria, whose church had Christian artwork that is the oldest ever found in the world. Members of our church visited these amazing artifacts at the Yale Art Museum on Saturday, and prayed in this early church along with members from UMC of East Berlin. Pastor john talked about the powerful picture of Jesus, the good shepherd, offering salvation to new Christians, in his sermon this Sunday. 

Our worship podcast from this Sunday is below, with sermon, prayers and sending, and sermon text is here and below. Rejoice! Rejoice in the God who blesses us with the freedom to find God's joy in the enduring salvation of Jesus Christ! God is not done with us, or God's world, and we can choose this wonderful, life-giving story to be our story!

Ripples: Celebrating the Life and Joy of Jeanne Beth Willett-King

Our church thanks the family and friends of Jeanne Beth Willett-King who came to our church to honor her life today. We shared together our joy for her life, sang her favorite songs, and considered how her life lived in the joy of God lives on, when we choose to make ripples for God as she did. Our hearts go out to everyone who has been touched so deeply by her loss. May her comfort and peace in God's loving hands give us assurance and hope. We had technical difficulties during the service that prevented a complete recording, but below is a podcast of Pastor John Blossom's message "Ripples," with text here, and a video of photos with the song that our choir sung. Please keep Jeanne's family in your prayers, and in your intentions for assistance.
