Church Picnic - After the July 27th Baptisms - At the End of Latham Lane, Noank

Our annual Church Picnic is a special event and all are welcome!! The church will provide hamburgers, hotdogs and cake and welcomes potluck contributions of salads, side dishes, and chips. A sign-up sheet is on the table in the Narthex. Please let us know so we can estimate numbers and what you plan to bring.

 A Request from the Flower Ladies: We kindly ask each of our parishioners to consider bringing a flower from their garden to contribute to the creation of beautiful centerpieces for our church picnic on July 27. Your floral donations will not only add a touch of nature’s beauty to our event but also showcase the creativity and gardens of our church community. Whether you have a single bloom or a small bouquet to spare, every contribution will be greatly appreciated. By coming together in this simple yet meaningful way, we can create a vibrant display that reflects the collective spirit of our parish. Please bring your garden flowers to the church on July 26, by 10am so that our volunteers can arrange them into stunning centerpieces for all to enjoy. Your participation will help make this gathering even more special and memorable.

Baptism - July 27, 2025

Baptism is a significant ordinance meant to reflect a personal commitment to Christ and to the church as a spiritual home and community. In many ways, it is meant to be a rite of passage on the journey of personal faith, as long as the individuals being baptized conscientiously and prayerfully choose to follow the ways of Jesus. Please contact the pastor to reserve your spot, and/or create conversation on what it all means. All are welcome & wanted.
