One person, one family, one congregation is all it takes to Fill the Ark and make a difference in today's world! Thanks to everyone in the congregation for supporting our missions with Heifer International with their “Fill the Ark” program. Please drop off your filled Ark boxes to the table in the narthex no later than the morning of worship on Sunday, April 14 (Palm Sunday). On that day, we will bless the boxes and thank God for the generosity of so many in helping those in need around the world.

Kenya Mission Team 2020You might remember that we were praying that God would lead us to partner with a missionary effort that we could serve not only financially but also with a physical presence. Krista and Joel Young would like to welcome us to their "neighborhood." As many of you already know that neighborhood is Kenya, Africa. Yes… we can help there!
There are many needs and we only need to define our own skill sets that could be brought ... Krista's position is to place us where our skills can do the most good. Construction? Vacation Bible School? Medical Assistance Program? "Other"? We will begin to decide the details when we know who is interested and available. For now, if you have any interest in being a member of a short-term team for sometime in 2020, please get your name onto the sheet on the bulletin board. We are hoping to set up an informational meeting in the coming months. And while you’re there, you can read the Youngs’ most recent newsletter as well. Thank you! |
FISH (Friends in Service Here) of Newtown is looking for drivers to take shut-ins or seniors to medical related appointments. Please call 203-270-9072 if you can help out.

According to the EPA, 85% of clothing in the U.S. is thrown away. This means that only about 15% of clothing that could potentially be re-used is collected using existing methods. Our on site clothing donation shed, courtesy of St. Pauly Textile is there for everyone to donate any used clothing you no longer need. Tax slips and plastic bags (for bagging up your donation) are conveniently located at the box. The church receives a small donation for every pound of clothing gathered.
