Vigil of Support this Sunday

“The Laconia Human Relations Committee invites all concerned citizens to join us in a vigil of support for Temple B’Nai Israel, its members and Jewish people everywhere in response to the despicable graffiti found on buildings at the State School. The vigil will be held Sunday, October 8, 2023, at 1:00 pm at Opechee Park adjacent to the North Main Street parking lot.

Come and stand with us against all expressions of hate and intolerance and stand for the inclusion of all members of our community –

ALL ARE WELCOME IN LACONIA!.”

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month

Even if we do not know their faces, victims, and batterers sit in our pews and participate within our congregation. Domestic violence / Intimate partner violence is abuse or aggression that might occur once or many times. An intimate partner can be a current or former spouse or a dating partner. This violence does not require sexual intimacy and occurs among heterosexual or same-sex couples of all ages. Preventing Intimate Partner Violence and Preventing Domestic Violence in your community are helpful resources that explain the reality of this issue.



The UCC believes the church must be a safe place for gender-based and sexual violence victims to share their stories and seek support. UCC Worship Ways provides resources for domestic violence survivors and care providers. The story of what one church did to increase awareness of the issue, The Clothesline Project – Exposing The Reality of Domestic Violence, can be found in the UCC Wellness Ministries Toolkit – Section 3
