New Members Welcomed on Pentecost Sunday, May 24, 2026

Our next opportunity to recognize and celebrate new members will be on Reformation Sunday, May 24, 2026, during our worship service through the Affirmation of Baptism rite. This beautiful rite offers a chance to reflect on how God continues to guide you on your spiritual journey, including leading you to Faith Lutheran Church. If you have been exploring and worshipping with us and would like to join the congregation as a member, please contact Pastor Chris 860-989-3507.

If May 24th doesn’t work for you, we will be offering another time in the fall as well.

We hope your spiritual needs are being met here at Faith and that you feel welcomed to participate in any way God is calling you.

Let Us Pray. . May 2026

Please contact the office to update your listing at the end of each month.

Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

As God calls us to pray for one another, there is solace in community. The more we understand what we’re going through, the more we can comfort one another and share experiences. Pastor Chris encourages mutual prayer and care but without being intrusive. She would also like those making additions and deletions to the list to have the loved one’s permission to do so.
