It’s spring so it’s once again time for the United Methodist Women to host their annual Mother’s Day Tea. Plan to come on Saturday, April 30th from 2 to 4 PM and join in the fun. This year we’ll take a page from the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party, so everyone is invited to come dressed as a favorite Alice in Wonderland character. There will be a couple of fun craft projects for the youngsters, an opportunity to have your family’s photo taken, and of course a lovely array of food to tempt you. This annual party is a way in which our UMW members can show their appreciation and thanks for all the ladies of the church who so generously support the group’s activities and events throughout the year. It’s sure to be an exciting time!

Easter Sunrise Service on TV
What a surprise to find that the traditional Easter Sunrise Service on Beach Rock in Barkhamsted this morning was featured on Fox News! A reporter covered the early morning service which was hosted by North Congregational Church of New Hartford, First Congregational Church of Hartland, First Congregational Church of Barkhamsted, and Pleasant Valley United Methodist Church. Following the service, the traditional Community Breakfast, hosted this year by PVUMC, was the scene of an interview with Pastor Carl Franson. To check out the video of this interview, go to http://www.ctnow.com, then click on the video link for the Sunrise Service. Great start to a wonderful Easter celebration.
