Our church is so blessed to be in a community that tries so hard to be a real community. The information kiosk at the corner of Main Street and Camp Street, just a few hundred feet from our church, has helped people to advertise and celebrate community events - including may of our events!

In gratitude for being a part of our great community, we plan to lead the refurbishment of this kiosk as a part of the Mayor's Cleanup Day on Saturday, May 4th. Volunteers are invited to join other city-wide volunteers at noon for a free lunch at City Hall.

Please come to the kiosk at 9AM, ready to scrape, paint, and replace damaged wood. Donations of materials and lending of proper tools appreciated - please bring your own work gloves! For more information, please contact Pastor John.

Celebrate UMCOR Sunday - Unity With Global Relief Missions

3/29/2019

When people around the word experience major disasters, the United Methodist Committee on Relief is the first to arrive, and the last to leave - often years later - again and again. It is one of the most widely respected and effective relief organizations in the world. 100% - every penny - of funds donated for relief efforts goes to actual relief work! This Sunday, our once-a-year special collection around the world makes this possible, by funding all administrative functions of UMCOR. Special envelopes will be available for use, or you can donate online now to help more people around the world feel God's healing touch. Thank you!

Choose Jesus This Week! Mar 24th Worship Podcast  and Mission at South Meriden TrinitY UMC

3/24/2019

In a world that gives us more and more choices that aren't good for us, what a blessing to choose the way that is always good for us - Jesus! Our joyful worship highlighted one of the choices being added possibly to lives of people in Connecticut - legal retail marijuana sales, being proposed by our CT legislature. Pastor John's letter on this topic to our state delegation is here and at the bottom of this post.

After worship, our mission team leader Daryl Fitzgibbons led our members in mission to assemble twenty health kits, which will be used by local outreach missions to those in dire need of basic human dignity. We thank Daryl and everyone for their efforts - these kits have been blessed by Pastor John, and blessed by our people in mission.

Our worship podcast with Pastor John's sermon, prayers and sending is below, text of his sermon is here and below the podcast. Have a blessed week being led by Jesus to the next right thing in God's love!

​
OUR CHARGE TO KEEP THIS WEEK
Let God finish the good work that God has begun in you already!

Use the gifts that God gives you abundantly, and seek God’s abundance!

Prayer Service for Healing, Peace, and Justice, Sunday Mar 17th, Noon

3/15/2019

At our church, we take our faith seriously, and the love of a saving God seriously. We offer it to everyone in our community. And so, at the time of this tragic murder of 49 worshipers at a mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand, we invite all people, and all faith leaders, to a short but important time of prayer and reflection this Sunday, March 19th, in our church sanctuary. There will be no sermons, only prayers, some visual and sound reflections, and some words of scripture that can offer us unity, healing, and hope at this time. May we all pray for the healing of the world that God have given to us in love, and for the healing of all hearts and bodies and souls who have been wounded so deeply by this tragedy.

New Year, Fresh Faith - Start Off With Another Way

12/30/2018

You can have the same old kind of year, doing the same old things.
Or, you can find another way.
Our church offers all kinds of people ways to re-engage and revive their faith, so that our faith can change not only our lives, but God's world.
Even you.
It starts every Sunday at 10AM, with our joyful worship, and warm fellowship.
It grows during the week as we walk through our community in prayer each Monday, with brown bag lunch discussions afterwards. It continues during the week as we pray together for God's possibilities.
It brings us into circles of friends at our Faith Groups every Wednesday at 5 and 7 PM, and as we bring faith to our families during the week.
It puts us in touch with people, in our community, and around God's world, who need the healing touch of God.
We have events throughout the year that make a difference in people's lives.
We hope that you will choose a fresh approach to your life, through faith, that will help you to grow in new ways, and to find real joy in life, whether life is perfect or not.
Let us know how you'd like to begin. Or, just start. We look forward to seeing you soon!

A Shelter of Grace! Our Annual ShelterNow Christmas Celebration Brought Food, Gifts, and Love

12/27/2018

Meriden's ShelterNow program provides emergency housing and guidance for people of all walks of life who need to get to the next right step in their lives, and we are blessed to be in ministry with them throughout the year. But at Christmas, we get to give back to them in ways that bring special joy to shelter residents - and to us!

Mary Barker and Linda Kirk spearheaded our efforts again this year, assembling over 20 bags of much-appreciated gifts of clothing and hygiene items, and a fantastic dinner that would make a fine feast at tny table! Friends of the church pitched in, and we had a great time with the men of the shelter program, sharing some laughs and touching stories, getting to know one another, praying and offering the gospel's hope for the new year.

We thank Mary, Linda, and everyone in the church who made donations to help fund this mission effort, and who volunteered to make it a success. May you all feel the warmth of Christmas blessings in your heart for helping to bring them to people who need God's hope so very much!
