Welcome home, and come on in!
There’s so much going on.
Our church family shares a long and
storied history, yet we continue to grow and serve our
spiritual needs while deepening our relationships with each
other and the community.
Here you will find the quiet serenity of
a thoughtful sermon, the laughter of children, the boisterous
fellowship of friends, the spirituality of music. Here you may worship God, sharing a common heritage yet
finding wisdom in the differing viewpoints of others. If you’re serious about a spiritual journey, you’ll
find good company here.
We are many things to many people, but we
all come together in our search for meaning and in our caring
outreach to the wider world.
Please, join us this Sunday and make
yourself at home. So
much is waiting for you. At
275 years and counting, there are still many great hours for
all of us to experience. Together.

Bylaws Review:
It
has been very gratifying and encouraging to
our Committee to have engendered so much
thoughtful discussion. Thank you ALL so much
for your suggestions, questions and comments.
Our Committee is now hard at work
preparing its report for Church Council.
Please be assured that any suggested changes
to the current bylaws will be assessed by the
Church Council; and ultimately voted on by the
entire Church Membership at a regularly
scheduled meeting. A copy of the current bylaws
is in the white notebook Member Directories
that were distributed in the spring of 2009,
which are still available from the church
office, and as a pdf on the password protected
section on the website.
|
Please
note that our Pastor, Dr Don Longbottom, and Moderator, Seth
Morton, are ex officio Committee members.
