Navigating in a changing world we step into the community with faith as Jesus followers.
Holy Habits Church Wide – book study continues TODAY. It is recommended reading by our DS so that we might learn to be disciples of mission in Middletown. The Sunday sermons will include excerpts from the book and we will follow it up with discussion after Worship. Every person is encouraged to grab a coffee and stay. If you would prefer to attend an evening study please let Pastor Barbara know.
“Same Kind of Different As Me” – book discussion will take place October 25th, 7 p.m., at the Parsonage with Hartford UMC. We will discuss viewing the movie/dinner as a follow up.
