UCC
members share time, talents, church via prisoner visitation and support ministry

Sensing safety along his path of compassion, the Rev. M.S. "Des" Desmond has
been going to prison for 22 years.
"It's a landmark for me every month," said Desmond, a retired UCC pastor and
longtime volunteer in the Prisoner Visitation and Support (PVS) program. "There
are no cell phones, no one can reach me there –– not my wife, not parishioners,
not anybody. I am safe to do the job of visiting."

Thursday Morning Prayers & Bible Study
9:00 to 10:30am in the Church Library
Begin your day with a time of quiet contemplation in a simple ministry of prayer, as we lift up the names of those who are sick or grieving, who are in discernment, or have thanksgiving or celebration to share. We will have a brief Bible study of our weekly lectionary scripture texts, led by Senior Pastor Bryn Smallwood-Garcia. Join us every Thursday, or drop in as you have a need for prayer or a morning free for study.
If you would like more information, speak to one of our pastors at 203-775-1259 or e-mail the church at office@uccb.org.

Electronic Giving is here at CCB!
The Stewardship Committee has enrolled our church with Vanco Services to provide our members and friends the option of giving one time gifts or paying pledges electronically. Electronic giving offers convenience for members and provides much needed donation consistency for our congregation, like during the summer months. We on Stewardship are excited about this new option. We are here to assist you if you have any questions.
