OFF-SITE PARKING THIS SUNDAY 11/2
We still need your help!
Thank you to those of you who parked off site at South School last Sunday. While the town of New Canaan has allowed us to park on the grass, if it rains or snows, we'll no longer be able to use the ramps up onto the front lawn which would ruin the grass.
Please consider parking offsite at South School which is right across from New Canaan High School. Our yellow bus circulates continuously, from 8am-1pm, for the two-minute ride on the shuttle, which drops you off at the front door. It's quicker than walking from the back of the school to the front door.
THANK YOU in advance!
NEW SUNDAY GATHERING
Josephine and Frank LaFauci are hosting a NEW 4-week group gathering that is perfect for those thinking about marriage, newlyweds, and married couples. Share experiences, gain insights, and strengthen your relationship in a supportive environment. The group meets on Sundays, 11/2, 11/9, 11/16, and 11/23. Grab a cup of coffee and join them from 11am-12noon in Room 101. Don't miss this chance to connect with others on the same journey!
HOLIDAY INITIATIVE
As we approach the holiday season, we’re once again partnering with Operation Christmas Child to bring the joy and message of Jesus’ love to children around the world. You're invited to be part of this incredible initiative by donating small toys, school supplies and hygiene items to fill shoe boxes for boys and girls ages 5-9 years old.
Click HERE to see the requested items, with drop off at the Welcome Desk on Sunday 11/2, 11/9 or 11/16. We will pack boxes as a church family on Sunday, November 16 after the service. Contact Catherine HERE with any questions. Thank you in advance for your generosity!
FRIENDSGIVING
What better way to kick off the holiday season than at our annual Friendsgiving potluck supper! Gather with friends in the Wagner Room at New Canaan High School to enjoy each other's company and savor a variety of homemade dishes. We’ll also have Turkey Bingo & prizes for kids and teens. Seats are limited and RSVPs are required so we can prepare a feast. Click HERE to sign up and let us know what you’d like to bring! Volunteers are also needed to make it happen, so please reach out to Catherine Palazola HERE.
