Vacation Bible School 2010 – Galactic Blast!

~ Gened ~ Leave a comment

Hey Kids (and parents), mark your calendars and prepare to blast off for a cosmic adventure praising God!  Cadets will voyage into outer space through daily missions and will learn how to see our planet Earth with new perspectives.  They will also learn tips to practice at home to keep our earth “green”.

Vacation Bible School will take place Monday through Friday during the week of July 12th – 16th, from 5:45 pm to 8:15 pm.  Registration forms are available at the church office, or on the Bessie Table.  For more information or to register your child, please call the church at 860-379-2157.

Mother’s Market

~ Gened ~ Leave a comment

On Saturday, May 15th, from 9 AM to 3 PM we will be hosting our first Mother’s Market.  This event is similar to a Vendor Fair but items for sale will be gently used baby and children’s clothes, maternity clothes, baby or children’s furniture, toys, or anything else that could be recycled and useful to someone else.  Table space will be purchased as follows:  6 foot tables for $10, 8 foot tables at $15, and outside, larger spaces for $20.  Those choosing to set up outside must provide their own table and shelter.  There will be a bake sale table and luncheon will be available.  Here’s a great opportunity to clean out some of those still-in-good-condition items that someone else could use.  For more information or to reserve your table space, call the church office at 860-379-2157.

Pastor Carl and Rev. Margret Hofmeister share the worship service.

The Easter Sunrise Service, held on Beech Rock, was conducted by Pastor Carl Franson and Rev. Margret Hofmeister.  Rev. Margaret is the pastor at the North Congregational Church in New Hartford.  The service was well attended, with almost 70 people balanced on the top of the rock.  A community breakfast was hosted by the Barkhamsted Congregational Church following the early morning service.

All ladies, moms and daughters, grandmothers, aunts, cousins, and more, are invited to attend the annual Mother’s Day Tea, hosted by the UMW, on Saturday, May 1st from 2PM to 4PM.  Our cupcake-inspired event will include music, fun and games, refreshments, and, of course, tea.  Our roaming photographer will be on hand to take not only posed photos, but casual shots as well, and everyone will be able to take home a photo memory.  If you’ve not joined us in the past, please think about coming this year as it promises to be a fun-filled day.
