ConnECCT with ECCT!
Beginning in September, ECCT will be rolling out a new file sharing platform for all parishes called ConnECCT. ConnECCT is a cloud-based file share intended to ease the distribution and receipt of vital information between parishes and ECCT. The use of ConnECCT will facilitate faster communications, lessen the need for physical mailings, and reduce the amount of time spent putting together and sending out mass-mailings, among other things.
ConnECCT will serve as a one-stop repository for information related to insurance, matters of the Episcopate, invoices, and all manner of pertinent information for parishes across ECCT. It will be a bi-directional communication tool allowing ECCT staff to communicate directly to parishes and vice versa. Parishes will be able to upload information for ECCT staff directly to their own private folder.
In order to prepare for the launch of ConnECCT in September, each parish will need to provide an email address which will be used to share login information and instructions.
Please send your parish's email address to Matt Handi, ECCT Operations Manager, at mhandi@episcopalct.org or via phone at 203-639-3501 x 107. Please also contact Matt with any questions or for additional information.

CHURCH BY THE POND
By Nancy Jacobs, Lay Coordinator
July 24th, 2021
Rev. Don Hamer presided over our congregation on this lovely day in Bushnell Park. Rev. Don's meditation focused on both of today's readings. The Gospel referenced Jesus' feeding of the many at the Sea of Galilee. Paul's sermon to the Ephesians prayed that we all have the spark that can accomplish much good to fulfill others with God's love.
Prayers were offered for the Church By The Pond ministry, for those suffering from Covid and for the health care workers tending all, for those struggling in prisons, and for the athletes of the world competing in the Olympics. Holy Communion was celebrated and shared with 22 congregants today.
Faith SDA Church provided bagged lunches which were shared with 34 guests following today's service.

Christ Church Cathedral serves the entire Episcopal Church in Connecticut community for the good of the whole, and is the seat of the bishops. It is "our cathedral." Our Cathedral hosts four congregations in one worshiping community. It's not a parish, as its role is unique in the diocese (see 2015 task force report & resolution). In this its centennial year, Cathedral leaders and Centennial Committee members wish to remind all Episcopalians in CT that by virtue of their membership in a parish, they are members of our Cathedral. All are welcome at any time, and in particular, invited to these events .
