2021 STEWARDSHIP SEASON RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER
Though we are only halfway through 2021, plans are underway for the upcoming 2021 Stewardship season. Beginning late September and going through the first few weeks of October, you will see opportunities for giving through the website, Facebook or the US Mail.
We have so much to be grateful for! Though at times it can feel a little unsettling, overall, the pandemic has spared our little community. Our Church continues to be a beacon of light to those in need, both spiritually and physically. It is trying times like these that we need to be readily available to those less fortunate than we are. To not only help those with food insecurity, but to provide the living word to those that thirst for spiritual growth.
This stewardship season, we ask that you reflect on what Christian giving means to you. We ask that you give to the vision, as your giving changes lives. Remember, we give because we trust God and we trust in the vision he has for our community and us.

'LIVING BY THE FAITH' VIDEO-BASED WOMEN'S BIBLE STUDY TO BEGIN SEPTEMBER 23
|
A video-based women’s Bible study ‘Living by Faith’ by Kelly King will begin on September 23rd. This six-week study will be led by Laurie Wasp and held at the church on Thursday evenings from 6:30 -7:30 PM.
Faith is far more than a belief system; it infuses all parts of life. Our faith is seen in the way we live our day-to-day lives: what we do, what we talk about, and how we respond to circumstances. Bible Studies for Life: Living by Faith is a 5-session video study that takes a look at six biblical women who clearly illustrate what it means to live by faith. And studying their actions can help us do the same |
SUNDAY SCHOOL TO RESUME SEPTEMBER 19
Sunday school for pre-school through high school will resume on September 19. Junior church with Rev. Peter Mehegan will be back on the 1st Sunday of each month, beginning October 3. Shawne Randlett will be teaching the older kids and Sarah Morrill will teach the younger group. The nursery/pre-school class will have a rotating group of teachers. All are welcome!

CHURCH RECORDS NOW ONLINE AT THE NE HISTORICAL GENEOLOGICAL SOCIETY
|
The church loaned our records to the New England Historic Genealogy Society last year. They filmed and digitally copied all the records. One of the digital copies was placed at the Boscawen Historical Society with a second set at church.
The NE Historical Geneological Society indexed the records and now will be making them available to their members for genealogical research! Thank you Ron Reed for making this happen! https://dbnews.americanancestors.org/.../boscawen-nh.../ |

5-YEAR CHURCH STRATEGIC PLANNING COMPLETED
|
“A plan without action is a dream, action without a plan is a nightmare”
Expanding our presence, being a "beacon of light" in the community, spreading the good news, involving more youth, supporting the community park, and providing an opportunity for spiritual growth for everyone are all included in the Church's 3-year Strategic Plan that is under development. More than 30 people, over an eleven month period participated in small group meetings to ask themselves these questions.
