SPECIAL NOTE FROM THE
RE-GATHERING COMMITTEE

In light of the uptick in COVID-19 infections in Stamford, we ask you to be:

Particularly vigilant in masking properly at all times inside the Church facilities.

Mindful to keep a social distance when inside Church facilities.

Please stay at home if you are feeling ill. Should you test positive for COVID-19 within 5 days after attending a Service, please inform us of your infection (203) 939-5571.

All Church doors will be open to keep air flow. Masks are available in the Narthex as well as hand sanitizer should you require them.

 Homily from July 17, 2022 by Aleta Shipley - Luke 10:38-42
 
When told this past spring we needed homilies while Mark is away, I thought, sure, let me sign up for a few to help out. How difficult can it be? Ha. The answer, it is way more difficult than I ever would have thought and infinitely more enjoyable and eye opening than I ever could have imagined. Thank you for patiently listening to me as I have tried to figure out readings set by the church years in advance, yet upon first reading often leave me wondering if someone put all the verses in a giant box and randomly grabbed three for each week. This morning was no exception...
Miles for a Mission
"We are gaining momentum for our 10th Annual Miles for a Mission Race! It will be virtual (Sep 19-25) AND in person (Sept. 25) with our famous Dogapalooza. Your help is needed to make this our best MFM. Please sign up to participate in the race and / or donate at the site: https://runsignup.com/Race/Donate/CT/Stamford/MilesforaMission
Send the link to your friends and family - this will certainly help get us to our goal! Thanks for your help and support."
