Looking for Ways to Help Us "Sing a New Song" at Annual Meeting 2022? |
|
Share a Significant Anniversary: Are you celebrating a milestone anniversary in the life of your congregation this year? We’d like the entire Conference to help honor that moment by inviting you to share a one-minute video announcement about your church at our Annual Meeting! Include your church’s name, location, incorporation date, and one concrete way you see evidence of how your church is "singing a new song".
Please plan to submit this video no later than August 26, 2022 to Ann Desrochers, [email protected].
Join the Statewide Virtual Choir: The choir will be directed by Adam Peithmann, Director of Music Ministry at First Congregational Church, Manchester. Adam will be working with choir participants to prepare the anthem God Has Work for Us to Do by Mark A. Miller. The prerecorded anthem will be shown during the worship portion of the Annual Meeting on October 15, 2022.
If you wish to participate, please contact both:
Event Planner, Ann Desrochers, via email at: [email protected], to be sent further information on a rehearsal schedule, a link to the folder where you can download practice tracks and upload your final audio/video recording.
Choir Director, Adam, via email at: [email protected] to receive additional information on the musical composition. He will also provide instruction and support if people need assistance with how to prepare a recording.

Please Remember in Your Prayers... |
Let us remember in our prayers those who have known and been blessed by the ministry of the Rev. Charles (Chuck) Higgins. At the October 2021 Annual Meeting, our Conference honored Rev. Higgins for 65 years in ministry, including in Pelham, Wilmot and South Danbury. About a month later, Rev. Higgins died unexpectedly. On Saturday July 16, 2022 at 11:00 a.m., a celebration of Rev. Chuck Higgins' long and spiritually rich life will take place at the South Danbury Church UCC, 1411 U.S. Route 4 in South Danbury, NH. Friends and colleagues from the NH Conference are warmly invited to attend.
O God, in your tender mercy,
Hear our prayers!
