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.

Pastor Dan has been named this year’s Patriotic Speaker by the Bristol Fourth of July Committee. This is a great honor for Pastor Dan and for First Congregational Church. Bristol’s “Second Highest Honor” after being named Grand Marshall, the Patriotic Speaker is responsible for kicking off the 4th of July festivities.
The Bristol Patriotic Exercises and 4th of July Parade were started by our congregation and Rev. Henry Wight in 1785. In fact, Rev. Wight was the first Patriotic Speaker and held this role for over 40 years. Like Rev. Wight, Pastor Dan is also a war veteran. (Rev. White was in the Continental Army during his studies at Harvard)
Pastor Dan will deliver his address from the Colt School steps on July 5 (yes July 5 since the 4th is on a Sunday the parade must wait!) at 8:30am. Please come out to hear and support him.
In case of rain, the Patriotic Exercises are in the FCC Sanctuary!
