We celebrate Pastor Bryn’s 10th Anniversary Sunday, June 4th
Please join
us in celebrating Pastor Bryn’s 10th anniversary on
Sunday, June 4th. We will celebrate during a single
service of worship at 10:00am and continue after
with a picnic. (For more details on the picnic and
things you can contribute see below.) This day is not
a surprise for Pastor Bryn, and we hope to make it very
special for her. One special request is that
anyone who is able brings a single flower with them to
add to a communal bouquet. It can be something from
your garden or from the store…whatever works for you. We
are hoping that through this celebration of nature, the
diversity of what will come, and the way they come
together we will be able to show how many different
pieces, parts and people come together to make the
family of faith we have here at CCB.
If you have questions or ideas, please contact Pastor
Jen (Jennifer@uccb.org) or Robin Murphy by email,
murphmich@charter.net.

you to attend every week,
and to invite your friends to join you.
YOUR QUESTIONS ARE WELCOME HERE!
- Would you enjoy the guidance of fellow seekers to help you support your children's growth into strong and compassionate moral thinkers?
- Are you looking for a place where you can bring your deepest joys and sorrows and find real companionship in celebration and suffering?
- Do you long for a place where you and your family can learn to love one another and care for the world in a compassionate faith community?
We hope our little white-steepled meetinghouse will become a weekly refuge for your soul -- where you can join us to share gratitude and wonder for your life, and learn to use ancient spiritual resources to wrestle with your questions about the greatest mysteries of the universe.
No matter who you are or where you are on life's journey,
YOU (and your questions) ARE WELCOME HERE.
Sacraments
We offer Communion every week at 8:30am
& on 1st
Sundays each month at 10:30am.
Programs for Children & Youth
Nursery is open for both Sunday services. During the summer, we have one-room Church School at 8:30 and 10:30am services for grades K-6. At 10:30 during the school year, there are age-graded classes for Pre-K through grade 8. Young people usually leave for their classes during a hymn early in the service, but all children are welcome to stay in adult worship if they prefer.

Thursday Morning Prayers & Bible Study
9:00 to 10:30am in the Church Library
Begin your day with a time of quiet contemplation in a simple ministry of prayer, as we lift up the names of those who are sick or grieving, who are in discernment, or have thanksgiving or celebration to share. We will have a brief Bible study of our weekly lectionary scripture texts, led by Senior Pastor Bryn Smallwood-Garcia. Join us every Thursday, or drop in as you have a need for prayer or a morning free for study.
If you would like more information, speak to one of our pastors at 203-775-1259 or e-mail the church at office@uccb.org.
