• Eldercare Options in Washington

  

  As we or our loved ones get older, it's good to know the best ways to maintain a high quality of life, and when to ask for outside assistance.  Join Regional Hospice, CT Community Care, and Washington Homecare for an informational meeting on what options are available and when the best times to implement them might be.  Bring your questions!

• Lenten Book Study!

  

  Have you ever wondered what Jesus' life might have been like outside of his ministry?  Join us during Lent to read and discuss Sue Monk Kidd's powerful novel, "The Book of Longings."  You have two opportunities to participate - Monday nights (beginning 27 February) at 7 pm or Wednesday mornings (beginning 1 March) at 10 am and running through the first week of April.  Both will take place in the Parlor and on Zoom. 

  A few copies have been reserved at the Gunn Memorial library, or purchase a copy through your favorite independent bookseller!

  Not a reader?  Join us anyway to talk about life in 1st century Palestine, and how it is in some ways still the same and in others very different, what faith looks like, and how our longings shape our lives.

• Want to Meet More Church Folks? Host Coffee Hour!

  Thanks to all who have volunteered so far! The New Year Schedule is now posted and available online.

  Coffee hours are easy to host, with the only goal being a chance to socialize with friends and get to know new folks.  So our Deacons are encouraging VERY simple refreshments.  A few treats like cookies or cheese & crackers plus beverages like lemonade, iced tea, or coffee.  Set-up in the hall is quick and easy.  The "Keep it Simple" guidelines can be downloaded here.  And click here for our new online sign-up list.  There is even an optional checkbox to select if you are new to this and would like a buddy to show you the ropes. 

  If you you'd rather get on the schedule by email, we'd be happy to work with you on that.
