LENTEN SUPPER SERIES
One Another. The season of Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, February 17, with a worship service of
penitence and renewal at 7:30 p.m. in our sanctuary. Our Lenten Suppers will begin the next
Wednesday evening on February 24 at 6:30 p.m. when Rabbi Howard Sommer will speak to us on
Covenant in Judaism and the Hebraic Tradition. Rabbi Sommer is the rabbi emeritus of Temple Beth
Tikvah in North Madison where he served for twenty-eight years. He spoke to us about Judaism three
years ago during our Lenten series on world religions.
Our series will continue on Wednesday evenings through the Lenten season. Our speakers will
include Dr. Joan Kelly, professor at the Center for Spirituality and Ministry at Sacred Heart University;
Dr. Margaret Bend-roth, the executive director of the Congre-gational Library in Boston; and the Rev.
John Van Epps, the pastor of the North Guilford Congregational Church UCC and the archivist for the
Connecticut Conference.
FAMILY SERVICE
Fourth Sundays are set aside to encourage all of our church family – young and old alike – to come
together for worship. Church school classes are not held so that families can attend worship
together. Church school students will be invited to help with these services. Our Fourth Sunday
Celebrations continue to be a work in progress, and we always welcome suggestions of ways to
celebrate and worship.
Please join us every Fourth Sunday of the month as we explore new ways to worship God and
celebrate our family of faith.
