Calendar and Announcements for the Week of June 26, 2011

THANK YOU to the following members of the Hill Church Hillbillies who are able to be with us this morning to provide our music: Jen Beck, vocals; Ellen Boylan, guitar; Ted Bradley, guitar and bass; and David Hagan, mandolin.
Want even more Hillbillies music? The “full crew” will be performing at the East Woodstock Jamboree on the 4th of July again this year so be sure to catch them that day to hear many of your old favorites as well as some new ones!!


THIS IS the last Sunday before summer union services with East Woodstock begin. All services in July will be held here. There will be Sunday morning childcare in the downstairs area of the church for infants through grade one. Child care will include a small Bible craft, snack, and outdoor play when weather appropriate. Children in grades two and above will have the opportunity to worship together with their families. For the month of August, all worship services will be held at the East Woodstock Congregational Church.

OUR LOCAL CHURCHES will be well-represented at the UCC General Synod in Tampa, FL next week. Ian Sorensen from East Woodstock will be a youth delegate from the Windham Association and Rev. Mike Ader will be serving as a clergy delegate. In addition, Alana Spalding and Olivia Arsenault of East Woodstock and Kat Bottieri and Gloria Knust from the Hill will be traveling with Debby Kirk and the CT Youth @ Synod group. Please keep these folks in your prayers as they travel, serve, and worship with UCC members from all over the country.

SAVE THE DATE for the Giv2 retreat. This is for all members of the Giv2 Planning team and other adults who would like to get involved with this outreach program. Rev. Day McCallister of the CT Conference will lead and afternoon workship from 2 to 6 PM on Saturday, July 23. It will be held at the CT UCC Conference Office at 125 Sherman Street in Hartford and we will have an opportunity to compare notes with leaders from other Giv2 chapters. Speak to Debby Kirk at 860-377-2675 if you would like to attend.
