Join us at Saxe Middle School

8am - Will you please help? We need more people to park off-site at South School (right around the corner on 8 Farm Road in New Canaan). We're no longer able to park on the grass, and would greatly appreciate your cooperation. Our shuttle bus circulates quickly from 8am-1pm, and it's quicker than walking from the back of the school to the front door.
8:45am - Our Elders invite you to join them in Room 148 (to the left of the auditorium) for a time of communal prayer.
9:30am Service - Join family and friends for worship music and Senior Pastor Cliffe Knechtle's message, "The Word of God".We'll have programming for children and teens, along with a live stream of the service on our Facebook page and YouTube channel.
11am After Service Programming
Discipleship Class - Elder Tom McCrossan invites you to participate in a study of the book of Philippians. Join him to see how Paul's text, written almost 2,000 years ago, remains relevant in our lives today.
Navigating Marriage - Meet up with Josephine and Frank LaFauci, who invite you to their group gathering designed for those considering marriage, as well as newly and married couples.
Sunday Small Group - Assistant Pastor Stuart Knechtle will host a post-service small group to discuss key points and passages from the sermon message.
Turkey Totes - Thank you to all who took home a tote to fill with groceries. Please drop them off at the Welcome Desk this Sunday. We'll take them to the Bridgeport Rescue Mission after the service.
