Connecticut District Resource Day– will be held Sunday, February 11th, from 2pm to 5pm at the Stratford UMC.  There will be workshops designed for leaders of church committees and workshops exploring church revitalization through youth ministries, sanctuary church, mission, a fresh approach to decision-making, and exploration of cultural trends impacting the way churches do ministry.  Pre-registration will be available soon.  Please see Pastor Barbara Marks for more information.
 
Draw the Circle– I invite you to join Dave and I in prayer for the forty days of Lent.  I would ask that you would purchase one book, Draw the Circle, by Mark Batterson.  You can purchase it online or Pastor will get you a copy.  You will be asked to read one chapter a day, about three pages, but you will want to read more.  It will be a blessing for you to start or end your day this way.  Find out how circling prayer can enhance your life and grow our church.  If you only take on one discipline this Lent have it be this!  Sign up today to take on this challenge with us!
