Our cup runneth over! We have had an abundance of little ones in the NURSERY this fall and are looking to hire a second childcare provider for the nursery on Sunday mornings (9:30-11:30 a.m.) This is a paid position. If you know anyone who might be interested, please have them contact the Rev. Sara Potter at 860-535-1181, ext. 16 We are also working to create a more child and parent friendly environment in the nursery. We are in need of a diaper changing table and a collapsible playpen. If you have one you would like to donate, please contact the Rev. Sara Potter at 860-535-1181, ext. 16.
This year’s NOMINATING COMMITTEE has been formed. Our charge is to nominate the slate for VESTRY 2008. The committee is comprised of departing Vestry members, Carole Barnard, Carol McBee, Kristin Vaughn, Bob Williams, and Liz Hall, who are joined by Carol Fiftal, Ellen Myers, Deb Bigelow, and Austin Chambers. IF YOU HAVE ANY NAMES of potential vestry candidates in mind, PLEASE CONTACT A COMMITTEE MEMBER as soon as possible. We are listening! Thank you.
Members of our PASTORAL CARE TEAM are available to make visits to anyone in the parish or in the community confined to their home, the hospital or a nursing facility.

We also keep a supply of Calvary Casseroles in the freezer in the Parish Hall waiting to be delivered to individuals and/or families for whom meal preparation might be difficult. Let us know so that we can help. Please call the parish office at 860-535-1181.
