Blessings all as we head into a very meaning-filled weekend.

Our worship service on Sunday will focus on John 16:12-15 with a message entitled: “Are You Ready?” The service will include a litany of leaving — better known as a Litany of Sabbatical and Transition as Betty and I prepare to begin our sabbatical experience and John prepares to expand his ministry here.

Hope to see you on Sunday

Peace to you all,

Gary

Peace to you all,

This Sunday will be a full - packed - and by the grace of God - SPIRIT FILLED day.

Sunday’s scriptures are: Acts 16:16-34 and John 17:20-26 with a sermon entitled: “Breaking Loose.” Contrary to some ideas — this has nothing to do with our coming sabbatical.

We will celebrate Confirmation as four young people have chosen to confirm their baptism and join the church.
Following a CAKE - filled coffee hour we will gather to experience a workshop on spirituality presented by Chessy Kelley. If that is not enough — just wait — at 3:00 the Addison Association will gather in the lower level of the Middlebury Congregational Church to hear from their new pastor Andy Nagy-Benson and following that gather in the sanctuary of the church to share in the his installation into and with that church beginning at 4:00. Everyone is invited - in fact we have 3 openings for delegates to both gatherings.

Blessings to you

Gary
