Dear friends , 

It was the 200th Steering Committee plan to have our 200th Congregational Church of Laconia History Book to you during our 200th year. 

This is not going to happen due to a glitch with our publisher. 

The book will happen however the date of delivery is to be determined.

We know many of you have preordered the book. If you would like to continue to be on the pre-order list , you don’t have to do anything. However if you would like to have your money returned, please contact Carolyn Jorgensen. 

We are sorry and sad that we have to delay the delivery of the book, and look forward to celebrating the books arrival with a book launch celebration!

The 200th Celebration Steering Committee. 

Reminder

We found the back door on the walk way was unlocked and the downstairs lights were left on.

It is understood that the last one to leave the building shuts off the lights and check the doors to make sure they are locked.

If anyone has any other ideas to make sure our building is secure please reach out to churchoffice@LaconiaUCC.org or 603-524-0668

Many thanks to all that brought food and smiles and comfort while I was out sick.

Christmas Sing-a-long with Lorraine!

Join us after Book Club on Wednesday, Dec. 18^th for a fun and lively hour to sing Christmas Carols and celebrate the season together. 11:30a in the Church Hall. We’ll share some holiday snacks and then enjoy singing-a-long with Lorraine Barrows on the piano!

The Nominating Committee is currently working to fill positions of all standing committees in the church.

The good news is there is a strong group of people who continue to serve, but there are still several opportunities for others to join.  

Right now there are openings in Diaconate, Educational Ministry, & Outreach Committee. And a golden opportunity for a Vice-Moderator. 

And if you are not always in the area or don't like going out to a meeting, not to worry: every group, anytime is happy to have you join via Zoom wherever you may be.

As quoted, "Being a member of this church is not a spectator sport." Jump in!
