Congratulations Bridgette!

Our Minister of Children and Youth Bridgette Hodgkins graduated today with her Certificate in Youth Ministry Leadership from Yale Divinity School.

Bridgette earns this certificate after completing a rigorous nine-month, cohort-based program that brings together youth ministry practitioners from across the country for sustained study with leading scholars in the field. The program focuses on leadership theory in church organizations; theological and spiritual care for young people, with particular attention to adolescent mental health; and the work of empowerment, liberation, and justice with youth.

We are so proud of Bridgette, and we are so grateful for her excellent leadership of our church’s children and youth programs.

Today's Stillspeaking Daily Devotional from the UCC, written by our Senior Minister!

Jesus isn’t looking for anything too dramatic from us. He doesn’t need staggering genius or heroic deeds. He doesn’t need us polished up, or framed in gold. He loves readymades.

We had a “Yay God! Good show!” moment before our Junior and Cherub choirs musical dress rehearsal. The play portion of this musical was written by our very own playwright, Roger Powers, who has a cameo role as a trader. Hope you can join us for church to experience the gifts and talents of our youth, offered in worship.
