If you know that God’s love embraces all, no matter their gender, race, age, ability, or sexual orientation,
if you resonate with everyone being a unique
and unrepeatable person, if you are willing to tear down the walls that divide us,
if you know that taking the Bible seriously
is not a matter of taking it literally,
if you want to know, as an adult, how your faith can keep expanding,
if you’re wondering what Jesus has to do with justice,
if you’re looking to raise your children in a congregation that nurtures through innovative teaching and action,
if you are seeking a community to be on the cutting edge,
and even if you are not, we warmly invite you
to help us build a brighter future for all!

The Board of Deacons met to evaluate worship attendance since our change to the 9am worship time for the summer months. Worship attendance has been as good or better than in previous years so the Deacons have decided to keep the service at 9am through September 5. On Sunday, September 12 we will return to the 10am service schedule.

Something old and something new is on High street between Bradford and State Street! The Town arranged for the red, white and blue stripe to be re-painted in front of our campus! The stripe was laid down at 2:30 am Thursday morning and it looks fantastic.
What is next – the parade actually continuing on past the church that founded it…………….?
Happy Fourth!

Our Circle meets on the last Thursday of each month from 6:30-8 pm at the Guiteras House or at the home of one of our members. We light a candle and gather with prayer, which flows into our knitting, crocheting, and fellowship. As each shawl or blanket is completed, it is passed around our circle and each person infuses the shawl with her own special blessing. In this way, each shawl carries the love and blessing of its maker and also the prayers of the whole circle. This is truly an experience of giving that blesses the giver as much as the one who receives!
This warm and welcoming group would like to invite you to join us in our ministry if you enjoy knitting and/or crocheting – don’t worry if you are just learning, so are we!!
Also, if you know of someone who would benefit from a prayer shawl, please speak to Pastor Dan, Anita Randall, or any member of our group.
We appreciate your continued prayers of support for this ministry!
Please visit the website www.shawlministry.com for additional information.
The August meeting will be held at the home of Adria Sartrys – August 26th – for more information, please call the Church Office.
