Stewardship Sunday- “Let your gentleness be apparent to all. The Lord is near. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:5-7
We celebrate our strengths only because of your generosity through Christ. As Christians let us extend ourselves earnestly as we consider how we have been blessed and might bless others.  Please examine your hearts and return your pledge cards.

​November 22nd. Let's help Middletown get warm. Drop off your gently-used coats and jackets at the church, on Sundays Nov 15 & Nov 22, 9-12 in a bag, or call for pickup. Childrens coats are especially needed but all coats are welcomed. All donated coats are cleaned for free by Best Cleaners and delivered weekly to shelters and centers in Bridgeport, Bristol, Hartford, Meriden, Middletown, New Britain, New Haven, New London and Waterbury for distribution to individuals and families struggling to get through the cold winter months. The two month drive that has been done in the past has now been reduced to one. Let's see how many coats we can contribute! ​
