Our Summer Worship Schedule, through Labor Day:
8:45 am Outdoor worship on the Grandin Patio (next to the Church), creative, fun, brief, led by fascinating church members. Chairs are provided, and if it rains we meet in the Sanctuary.
10:00am Traditional worship led by the usual suspect clergy with wonderful music in the Sanctuary. Old Fashion one room Sunday School for young children AFTER starting their morning with their families at the 10am service. Child Care will be available during both services.
Bible Study led by David: We meet on Thursdays at 10 a.m. in the Parlor, open to all, anytime! It’s great conversations with great people, all led by David. Our last Bible Study of the season will meet on July 2nd, and then we will pick up again after Labor Day.
Religion in the News, our popular adult discussion class, meets most Sunday mornings, following the 10:30 am worship service, in the Parlor. Led by David – great conversation provided by you!
Our next Support Group meetings will be on Wednesday, July 15th and July 29th at 1:00 pm in the Church Parlor. This informal group maintains confidentiality in all matters and seeks to provide support through shared conversation for persons dealing with loss in its many forms. Participation is open to anyone for as long or short a time as desired. For further information, please contact the Rev. Dr. Brian Bodt, Pastor of Community Care, at 203.747.1781 or bbodt@greenfieldhillchurch.com.
Summer Church School Program… Our summer church school program has begun! All children ages 3 years through early elementary are invited to participate. We will begin each week in the Church in worship with their families, following which the children will be dismissed to the Church House (Room 111, located on the main level) to meet for a special program of Bible stories and related activities. Dismissal will be from the classroom at the end of the adult worship service.
