8:30am in the Outdoor Chapel
(with Communion)
10:30am in the Meetinghouse
(10:30am - Live Streamed and Communion)
https://youtube.com/live/-d8gIA9Ieh4?feature=shareOutdoor Worship begins this week at 8:30am in our Outdoor Chapel (across the back parking lot beyond the Memorial Garden). In case of inclement weather, we will move inside to the Meetinghouse, but we will hope for a beautiful Sunday morning.
At 10:30am Worship we will celebrate Baccalaureate Sunday in the Meetinghouse, as we lift up our high school, college, and post-college grads. We will hear from our guest preacher Jenna Mix as she reflects on her faith journey and what CCB has meant along the way, and others of our graduates will be sharing in Worship leadership as well.
Pastor Bryn will be sharing her musical gifts with us at both services, and Church School (for pre-k through 6th graders with older youth helpers) will meet at 10:30am after our Time With Our Children. Nursery care is always provided at both of our worship services. All are welcome!
We hope you will also plan to stay after one of our services to meet with the Fellowship Hall Project Financial Task Force for an Information Session (at either 9:30 or 11:45am) to hear the latest news about our "Sharing to Build, Building to Share" project status and finances.
Church School & Nursery Care are available: If you have questions about Church School, please be in touch with our Church School Coordinator, Barbara Crandell at

Worship Opportunities

Labyrinth & Children's Garden:
Our Labyrinth and the story of how it came to be were recently published in a book of New England Labyrinths, so we are excited to share that with people in our area and beyond. Planted around our Labyrinth, we also have a Children's Garden, where kids are able to experience God's presence in Creation, remember loved ones who have died, and go to play or pray at our church. All are welcome to visit during daylight hours. You can find the entrance to the footpath to the labyrinth and garden on the left side of the slope down into our lower parking lot.

Sharing to Build, Building to Share…
See the New Vision for Fellowship Hall!
Because we are CCB, we have fun whenever we gather! Even as we worship each week in our historic Meetinghouse, fellowship is at the very heart of our church life and we believe Fellowship Hall should be accessible to all. We invite you to contribute as generously as you can and help us extend God's extravagant welcome to everyone, "no matter who we are or where we are on life's journey." Whether we walk or roll, we seek to follow Jesus together!
