Our congregation is again participating in the CROP Hunger Walk this year. The 2022 Walk is hosted by the Methodist Church in Greenfield.

CROP Walks support the good work of Church World Services in our own communities and around the globe. For more information about CWS, please visit their website: https://cwsglobal.org/

And thank you!

The Youth Group Spring Flower Sale is ongoing.  Orders need to be received by April 24th.  Pick up will take place outside the church on Saturday, May 7th.  Order forms may be picked-up at church on Sundays or by emailing randyc1897@gmail.com.  And thank you.

We wish to thank everyone who donated to our collection of medical supplies for Ukraine. The collection is being delivered today to Sts. Peter and Paul Ukrainian Catholic Church in Ludlow, and from there to the Ukrainians in Ukraine and in exile.

We also collected $1,300 from church organizations (Benevolence and Real Folks) and members to help defray shipping costs.

I'd like to let the people from Memphis know that their donations arrived and are included in this donation. Thank you for reaching out through us.

These donations are a wonderful testament of Christian generosity, but let us also continue in our prayers for peace in Ukraine and in the world. May our prayers help end the violence in Europe, and may our prayers help protect the entire world from what could happen if this conflict spreads - intentionally or inadvertently. ​

Our Chicken Barbecue was the first church supper we have served since February 2020 - 19 months ago!  It was good to get back to work together.  The BBQ is an important fundraiser, no doubt, but it is also a chance for us to come together - the workers and all of you who stopped by to pick up dinners.

We thank Rockridge Retirement Community in Northampton for their very generous sponsorship.  Our thanks go out to Szawloski Potatoes for the donation of all the - you guessed it - baked potatoes we served.  We also appreciate the donation of all the prepared squash that Michael Zigmont donated.  And we don't want to forget Jimmy Tarr who stayed with us throughout the day as our Serve Safe officer.  

And we could not have sold one dinner never mind 250 without all of the volunteer help of our church members, with special mention of Amy Novak who chaired the BBQ.  You all did a great job!

The BBQ sold out at 250, which was great, but we did unfortunately need to turn some people away.  In October, we will start advertising our Roast Pork Dinner.  Due to the COVID restrictions, this will also be a to-go only dinner.  It will take place on November 13th from 5 - 7:00pm.  Check this page, or our FB page, or the sign in front of the church for how to order tickets.  There is a good chance we may sell out again so please don't wait to get those tickets.
