November 27, 2011Thanksgiving Sunday!
Congregational (UCC)
190 Court Street
Middletown
Worship begins at 10 a.m. with our Interim Pastor, the Rev. Dr. Brenda Pelc-Faszcza.
First Church is an Open and Affirming Church. No matter where you are in life's journey, you are welcome. Sunday school meets during worship. Child care is provided.
Sermon: Measured by Mercy. UCC minister and writer Robin Meyers says that “any true religion is measured by its mercy – any religion that does not make us kinder is not worth our time.” Jesus says, “Inasmuch as you have done for the least of these, you have done for me….” On the last Sunday of the Christian year, we remember this central core of the Christian life. In the week of Thanksgiving, we remember that gratitude and compassion are related.
