Middlebury Congregational Church
United Church of Christ | Doing God's Work in Connecticut and the World
Spring is here, and Easter is just around the corner! Although we plan outdoor services on Sundays in April, during this longest Lent of all we continue to be livestreaming only.
Pastor Katrina Manzi preached on “New Covenant, Same Story” based on Scripture readings from Jeremiah 31:31-34 and Jeremiah 31:31-34. We also sang “The Old Rugged Cross” as a hymn, safely separated at home. The words to the familiar hymn are printed in the bulletin (below) so you can sing along too!
Easter Baskets: We’re donating Easter meals for three Middlebury families in need.
Because of COVID, we’re asking for monetary donations rather than food donations. The food in each basket is about $100, so we’re looking to raise $300. If you would like to donate, you may write a check to the church and indicate it’s for “Missions” in the memo line, or you can donate online and direct your donation to “Missions.”
(Thanks Katie P for the flyer!)
Diaper Collection: In addition to the food we regularly collect for GWIM, this spring we’re also collecting diapers. You may leave the diapers in the same bin outside the church office.
