We welcome to our pulpit this week one of our missionary partners, Rev. Peter Dewberry. Peter served as the pastor of the New Life Christian Fellowship in Glastonbury for ten years. Most recently he is the founder of Free Inside, a prison ministry focused on bringing the gospel to Connecticut’s prisons using the Alpha course.

Summer Picnics: Our mid-week summer picnics are underway.  Set up begins at 5:30 PM with dinner at 6:00 and prayer at 7:15.  Hot dogs, hamburgers, buns and sodas are provided by the church.  Just bring a picnic type side dish and join us for both a physical and spiritual midweek renewal.

Attention All Instrumentalists & Singers: Wednesday evening July 16th, there will be an informal worship “jam session” following the picnic and prayer meeting. For more information, see Kathleen Thompson.

Community Outreach Opportunity: A local home care agency is seeking compassionate, friendly volunteers to deliver nutritious meals to elderly and disabled individuals in the Glastonbury area and/or provide vital socialization to those who often have little human interaction. Flexible schedules available—once a month, twice a month, every week or every day.  Please contact Patti Wagner if interested.
