On Saturday, October 13, twelve church members and two guests met at Newport Cruise Company’s Warren headquarters, boarding the Vista Jubilee for a water tour of most of the lighthouses on Narragansett Bay. The sun was bright and the air crisp – a beautiful day for our cruise.
We departed promptly at 11:00am and followed the winding channel from Warren to the open water of the Bay, turning toward Providence. Here our tour guide pointed out the first lighthouses – Nayatt Point Light and Conimicut Light in Barrington. Then we turned around and headed for Warwick Point Light and down the west passage of Narragansett Bay and past Quonset Point. Along the way, we were treated to a very nice buffet luncheon, while our ship continued on to Jamestown Bridge where we saw Plum Beach Light in North Kingstown and Dutch Island Light near
As we headed toward open water at the entrance of the Bay, we caught sight of Beavertail Light in
We passed Sandy Point Light on
We arrived at port with everyone in our group saying they had a great time and would like to do it again! We are only sorry that more of you could not join us for this fun day. We missed you and hope to see you at one of the upcoming fundraising events.

In July, the Council formed a Long Range Planning Steering Committee as a first step in developing a Long Range Plan for our congregation. This committee will be gathering data from members of the congregation over the next few months. This will occur during cottage meetings in members’ homes. The meetings, designed to last less than two hours, will be led by a trained team from the Long Range Planning Steering Committee. Each team has specific questions about your perceptions of our community of faith. When these meetings are concluded, the results will be presented to the Church Council for further action and discussion, including developing a Long Range Plan (3-5 years) for our church. If you would like to host a meeting, please contact the church office. And, when you are called to attend a meeting, please make every effort to put it on your busy schedule. The meetings will begin sometime in November with a goal to conclude them by the end of January.
The members of the Long Range Planning Steering Committee are:
Dave Freeman, Jen Johnson, Pastor Randall, Helen Sousa, Doug Hixon, and Pastor Aberg
