Dear companions in Christ:
It is almost here!!! This coming Sunday we are going to confirm five of our youth; AbbieMoss, Nicole Kudrikow, Natalie Martinez, Taylor Partlor, and Justin Vitale. Come and support our youth who have been working since October 2012 on their confirmation process. Come and celebrate with them. If you are able please write a congratulation note to them. We need to encourage and accompany are young ones in their faith journey. They have been wonderful! even doing community work!

Town Approves Community Preservation Committee Funding!

Dear companions in Christ:
Monday we witnessed once more the power of team work, presence, prayer and vote!!!! We had an excellent representation at our town meeting. I think we could have celebrated the approval of our grant by singing, but we behaved, and kept the “separation of church and state” respectfully after we heard “passed by majority vote!!!!!” We sang quietly with our hearts. Thank you so much for all your prayers and support for Hope. The Preservation Committee did a great presentation on our behalf. Steve offered a wonderful speech. Thanks to Duane and Steve and to Cathy for writing the proposal and keeping the church informed of the whole process!
Now we can move with lots of hope into the future.
Grace, peace and lots of smiles!
Pastor Aida
