James 1:17  Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.

Dear Women of ECC,

June is the halfway point of our fiscal church year.  It also marks the end of our Women’s Fellowship program year and the start of the new one.  Our officers will be installed at our Annual Luncheon, which is scheduled for Sunday, June 30, 2024 at 1:00 p.m. at Figaro’s restaurant in Enfield CT.  All women of the church are invited to attend.  Signups are in the Social Room beginning June 2 through June 23, 2024.   The cost is $25 per person and the entrée choices are chicken francese, veal marsala, or stuffed filet of sole.  

We are presenting a slate of officers for the upcoming program year of 2023-2024, which includes President, Jen Traynor; Vice President, Cathy Leonard; Secretary, Bethany White; Treasurer, Jan Danforth; Assistant Treasurer, open; Chaplin, Cassie Miller; Kitchen Chair, Laurie Hazleton; and Farmhouse Fair Chair, Jen Traynor.   We still need an Assistant Treasurer and a Program Chair.   If you are interested in serving on the Executive Board, please see Penny Gates.

Congratulations to our scholarship recipients-, Laurel Feindel and Norah Wright.  Both are well-deserving students.

Sacred Stitches meets on the third Thursday of each month from 9:00 a.m. to noon, and their next meeting is Thursday, June 20, 2024.  Everyone who wants to sew is welcome to join.  Please contact Jan Schaeffer at 860-875-5581 with any questions.

Our coat collection for hawkwing continues.  Please place clean, gently-used coats in the bin in the narthex.
