Adult Forum: Witness to Belief - Join us for the spring the Adult Forum to read and discuss the book Witness to Belief: Conversations on Faith and Meaning, by Russell J. Levenson, Jr. In this book, Levenson—an Episcopal priest and author—interviews 12 different public figures about their personal faith. The interviews are with people from many areas of public life (entertainment, broadcasting, government and public service, science) and include people such as Denzel Washington, Brit Hume, Condoleezza Rice, and Jane Goodall. According to the book’s cover, “Each interview delves into the private, spiritual side of public figures and reveals that behind success and fame there is often a vibrant, personal faith in God that nourishes them.”
This session will begin on Wednesday, April 15 (when we will discuss the first two chapters) and will run for 6 weeks. We meet on Zoom on Wednesdays at 7:00 pm. If you have any questions, contact Amy Foster

Church School - I am looking for a few caring and willing adults to help as church school volunteer teachers. You do not need to be a parent or have prior teaching experience--just a kind heart and a willingness to show up for our children. Lessons and support are provided, and volunteers can serve on a rotating schedule. This is a wonderful way to share your time, build relationships, and help nurture faith in our youngest members. If you’re curious, interested, or would like to learn more, I would love to talk with you. Thank you for considering being part of this important ministry! Warmly, Becky Scalesse
The Wednesday Fellowship and Joy Club - We meet at noon to worship, share a bag lunch and then join in playing some simple games and conversation. Usually ends by 2pm.
Rector’s Discretionary Fund – The Church has a small fund to help members in times of need, and we need to replenish it from time to time. On the first Sunday of the month, we will use any loose offering (offerings other than pledge income) to fund the account. There is also a new category for online giving for donations to the Discretionary Fund. It is especially appropriate to make small donations as gifts of thanks, and we often receive gifts for weddings, baptisms, or to give thanks for a loved one.
Contact information for the Rev. Greg Welin - I am usually in the office on Wednesdays and Thursdays until the early afternoon. It would be best to make an appointment to see me if you can. You can reach me at [email protected] . In the event of an emergency, you may call my cell phone at 203 206 4802. My home address is 9 Beecher Road, Woodbridge CT 06525. Please add my number to your contact list!
Prayer for the people of Ukraine - God of peace and justice, we pray for the people of Ukraine today. We pray for peace and the laying down of weapons. We pray for all those who fear for tomorrow, that your Spirit of comfort would draw near to them. We pray for those with power over war or peace, for wisdom, discernment and compassion to guide their decisions. Above all, we pray for all your precious children, at risk and in fear, that you would hold and protect them. We pray in the name of Jesus, the Prince of Peace. Amen.
