Well, 2023 has been a busy and sometimes challenging year. Because of the flurry of activity as December comes to a close, there will not be a full edition of the Link, the church newsletter.

In the meantime, somethings to note: there will be a Confirmation Class beginning in January, after church & coffee hour.

Should you like more information about this class, please contact the church office at 860/379-2157.

Also beginning in January, there will be a Bible study of the New Testament. The class will be held at 10:00 am on Tuesday mornings and last approximately 90 minutes. For more information, again, please contact the church office.

The Visitation Committee is forming and will meet next Sunday to finalize plans. If you are interested in joining this committee that plans to connect with shut-ins and/or those folks who are unable to attend regular worship serivce, please contact the church office or Kathy Loomis.
