Worship Series: The Gospel According to Dolly

We're going to start the New Year with something fun! We're starting with a series inspired by the life of the incredible Dolly Parton!

Each week we're reflecting on God's Word in scripture through some of Dolly's hit songs beginning with "I Will Always Love You." Also, with it being a New Year, we are going to come together in celebrating Communion - both in our online worship and in a drive-through in the circle drive in front of Colonial Church from 9:30 - 10:00 a.m. on Sunday morning.

Come and get this year of hope and recovery going!

Colonial Women Rummage Fundraiser

Because of concerns about COVID-19, Colonial Women is hosting a rummage collection rather than the usual sale. The goal is to raise $1,000, which means about 5,000 pounds of items! Savers will pay us by the pound for quality items. To reach that requires 250 13-gallon white trash bags of soft goods and 200 boxes of hard goods. We are also collecting boxes of books for a book sale.

Let Marylee Battaglia know how many bags or boxes you have collected so we can see progress toward the goal. The collection is April 11, 2021. Note nothing will be stored at the church.
