First Church of Christ in Saybrook (Congregational)

United Church of Christ

 

I recently wrote in a weekly email devotional that I contribute to occasionally: “Love is “easy” to preach, especially on this upcoming Mother’s Day, but we need to keep preaching it. Love, acts of kindness small and large, patience, speaking out in love together as often as we can, looking at our own “those people” and doing the hard work of loving “them” no matter what, is still our call. In truth, love is not easy and while God does not expect perfection, God’s dream of love requires all our hearts and minds and very souls!” (Starting with Scripture SNEUCC.org 05/05/26)

We at First Church of Christ are engaged in a couple of “love” projects this month of May: Stewardship and Mental Health Awareness. Our Stewardship campaign “There Our Hearts Will Be invites us into a season of deep spiritual alignment—an honest, hopeful exploration of how our practices, priorities, and resources reveal what truly claims our hearts” as we look to our commitment to financially support our church. In celebrating Mental Health Awareness Month, we are asked “to focus on a simple, shared goal: helping people have more good days, together” with an invitation and challenge to participate in 250 “Random Acts of Kindness” to promote wellbeing.

Join us each Sunday this month for sermons, testimonials, some ice cream (May 17th) and projects to show your love for all of our church community and the ministries we support! 

We are looking for volunteers to serve  as lay readers and ushers.
