Save the Date
Sanctuary UCC Annual Congregational Meeting (2021)
Sunday, June 27, 2021 (2:00 pm – 4:00 pm) via zoom
Special Note:
All-Church Worship & Picnic
Sunday, June 27th


Remember that old time religion where we used to gather IN PERSON? Well… you’re going to get a taste of it soon enough: on June 27th we’re having a special worship service and picnic at Shannon Beach on the Upper Mystic Lake!
IN WORSHIP THIS SUNDAY
"Bathsheba"
Bathsheba is probably the Bible’s best known bad girl. Her illicit affair with King David ended up with her getting pregnant and David having her husband killed. While most families would try to cover up that kind of mess, Bathsheba’s family owned it and proudly claimed her as their own.
