And this Sunday is the annual Music Service which showcases the tremendous range of musical talents in our congregation. Come and enjoy!

This past Sunday we held the annual blessing of the prayer shawls, lovingly made by members of our Prayer Shawl Group for those in need of comfort and care. The group usually meets every third Sunday of the month after church if you would like to join.

Our big music service is coming up June 7. Here’s a clip of fiddle and bagpipes from last year’s service.

The Social Justice Book Group recently finished reading "Jesus and the Disinherited" by Howard Thurman. The contemporary relevance sparked a lot of supportive and engaging conversation.

Lots going on this week at the church!

Heather is leading a team this Sunday in the annual COTS Walk, and next Friday we’ll have folks joining the ICEOutVT demonstration in St. Albans.

Then Friday night (May 8th), it’s karaoke in the church basement from 6:30–9. Jodie says: bring games, bring snacks, bring a friend!

Our Easter service was featured on WCAX this week! That's kinda neat.

We'll have lots more Easter photos and videos to share over the coming days. Stay tuned. 💛💛💛

Join us tomorrow as we celebrate the joy and hope of Easter! God’s eternal promise of redemption and new beginnings.

Holy Week started with Palm Sunday, in remembrance of the arrival of Jesus in Jerusalem. The bell choir graced us with another wonderful performance, and after the service we held the final Lenten soup lunch, with lots of good food, warm conversation, and time spent together as a community of faith.

We’d love to see you tomorrow! ❤️🧡💛💚💙🤎🖤
Come just as you are, wherever you are on your journey.
