INVITATION TO SERVE OUR REGION TOGETHER

Many of our parishes serve the homeless and disenfranchised in Hartford and Middletown. For the past two years, through a collaborative effort across the Region, we have helped support the Boot Party in Hartford with personal care items, socks, gloves, and volunteers. This year there is a second opportunity support a similar event in Middletown. Lending our Regional support to both Hartford and Middletown allows us to serve the fullness of our Region. We hope you will join us in our efforts as individuals and parishes. Sign-up below to participate .

2019 CHRISTMAS PARTY | DEC 21, 2019

By providing hand knit/crocheted hats

Trinity, Portland's knitting group was well on track to complete 150 hats and scarves for the Christmas Party. A few weeks ago the weather turned cold and members of the homeless community were in need of hats. Living in the spirit of abundance Trinity gave away most of their hats, and are busily knitting to make up the difference so everyone who needs a hat at the Party gets one.

LET'S HELP THEM MAKE THEIR GOAL OF 150 HATS!!

WEDNESDAY 11/13 -- SACRED HEALING: CONTINUING THE CONVERSATION -- Join the NC and SC regions as we continue the conversation from this summer's film series on racial healing and justice. We will spend some time dwelling in God's word, followed by a powerful video from scholar and academic Catherine Meeks of the Absalom Jones Center for Racial Reconciliation where she "borrowed a quote from Jesus in the Gospel according to John to candidly discuss the current state of race in the United States and to propose a bold way forward." Finally, we will discern together through conversation what God is saying to us as individuals and as a whole.
