What Does Your Gift To One Great Hour of Sharing Do?
A gift to One Great Hour of Sharing enables the church to share God’s love with our neighbors-in-need around the world by providing relief to those affected by natural disasters, provide food to the hungry, and helping to empower the poor and oppressed.

Grace Farms Foundation and the Interfaith Council of Southwestern Connecticut invite you to join us for an Interfaith Seder led by Grace Farms Foundation’s Faith Initiative Director Matt Croasman, Rabbi Joshua Hammerman of Temple Beth El, Reverend Mark Lingle of St. Francis Episcopal Church, and Dr. Kareem Adeeb of the American Institute for Islamic and Arabic Studies.
Following an abbreviated Passover Seder, we will discuss how our religious traditions teach us to respond to the current moment when violence in our world and houses of worship seems to be pervasive. Our conversation will explore the similarities and differences that Jews, Christians, and Muslims have with regard to forgiveness and the significance of never forgetting the tragedies that harm our communities and impact our humanity.
The Seder meal will be symbolic. Light refreshments will be served.
Date

Do you find reading the Bible confusing and frustrating? If that's you, you're not alone. In your free gift of Right Now Media there is an entire series to help you out titled:
HOW TO READ THE BIBLE
, By Tim Mackie.
This 14-part series explores the origins, content, and purpose of the Bible. Here you'll be introduced to some of the basic skills necessary for reading the Bible effectively.
I have placed the series under our North Stamford Community Church tab. Click on the tab located on the left side of the site and the Bible Study Channel with How To Read The Bible Series will pop up.
Join us in the Facebook Group to discuss the series.

Transformation
I AM A BEACON OF LIGHT IN THIS WORLD!
If I want to change my life, to create new meaning and purpose, I must open my mind to transformative thoughts. I must be open and willing to make adjustments to what I think, say, and do as I move ever onward toward realizing my true self—the me I have come here to be.
Instead of being attached to the words I might say, I find myself praying with a spiritual awareness. This state of consciousness is where my thoughts, feelings, and aspirations are at their highest levels.
From this vantage point, everything changes. I see solutions where before I saw problems. I feel relaxation where there was tension, and I live within the realm of divine possibility.
And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became dazzling white.—Matthew 17:2

A Positive Attitude Is Your Greatest Asset
Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way, your mind looks at what happens.
Circumstances and situations do color life, but you have been given the mind to choose what the color will be
- John Homer Miller

WHAT ARE AFFIRMATIONS?
Affirmations are positive statements of Truth. By affirming Truth we are lifted out of false thinking into the consciousness of Spirit. Each time we pray positively and faithfully, we are calling forth the divine activity that is always within us.
We focus on these affirmations throughout the month for greater expression of our divine inner light. Giving thanks in advance, we claim each of the affirmations as true for ourselves and our loved ones, remaining open and receptive to the highest good for all.
HOW AFFIRMATIONS WORK:
"One who knows spiritual principles has a certain inner security given him by the understanding of God. Our affirmations are for the purpose of establishing in our consciousness a broad understanding of the principles on which all life and existence depend.
"In order to demonstrate spiritual principles, we must keep establishing ourselves in certain statements of the law. The more often you present to your mind a proposition that is logical and true, the stronger becomes that inner feeling of security to you.
Affirmation works because of the faculty which is most directly involved in affirmation-faith. Affirmation plays an important part in the process of divine ideas becoming facts and experiences in man's existence on earth.
The Month of April Affirmations:
Inner Peace
Peace flows like a river through my mind and heart.
Guidance
Immersed in divine wisdom, I listen, learn, and love.
Healing
One with God, I am the flow and vitality of life.
Prosperity
All things are possible in divine mind.
World Peace
Let there be peace in all people at all times.
