Join on Saturday, May 16 at 7:00 p.m. at Unity Hall in the Congregational Church of Middlebury for Oh Fair to See — an evening of song with tenor Drew Young and pianist Ronnie Romano. The concert is free and all are welcome.

This moving program travels from winter’s darkness into the light of spring, with music by Handel, Finzi, Grieg, Sibelius, Keen, and Copland. It’s a beautiful journey through love, nature, and the quiet turning of the seasons. A free will donation will be collected to benefit Migrant Justice.

On Sunday, May 31st, the congregations of the Addison Association of the United Church of Christ will gather together for a joint worship service at the Vergennes Congregational Church. This is believed to be the first time in recent memory, and possibly ever, that all Addison Association churches have worshipped together on a Sunday morning! 

The pastors of each congregation will participate in leading worship. The choirs from each church will join together in song. Our Conference Minister, Rev. Lynn Bunjak, will preach. Childcare and Church School will be provided for all children. The church has a large parking lot with accessible parking available. 

We encourage every member of every congregation in the Association to join us in Vergennes that Sunday. Occasions like this one are rare, and there is something powerful about the churches of our association worshipping together as one body! For those unavailable to be there in person, you can join the livestream at www.facebook.com/vergennesucc.

Following worship, all are welcome to stay for lunch and the Addison Association Annual Meeting and program, which will begin at noon and conclude by 1:30. The program will consist of a "listening session" facilitated by our VT Conference Minister, Lynn Bunjak and Associate Conference Minister, Paul Sangree, which is an opportunity for members across the association to share their perspectives on the life and future of our churches in Addison County. We hope you will join us for some or all of the day!

Since January we have delivered 869.5 pounds of groceries to HOPE food shelf, and we're just getting started on our goal for the year--last year we donated over 10,000 pounds total! Is it possible to break our record? We're sure going to try!

We encourage you to bring shelf-stable, meatless food items and place them on the altar before worship as a visible sign of our shared commitment to feeding our community.

Think protein-rich, nourishing items that can help make a simple meal: beans, lentils, rice, pasta, boxed mac and cheese, canned soups, peanut butter, shelf-stable milk, canned vegetables, tomato sauce, quinoa, oats, ramen, or other vegetarian pantry staples. Please bring shelf-stable items only.

Our gifts support HOPE (Helping Overcome Poverty’s Effects), which serves Addison County. HOPE’s mission is “to improve the lives of low income people in Addison County, Vermont, by working with individuals to identify and secure the resources needed to meet their own basic needs.” HOPE’s food shelf serves over 3,000 people each year, offe

Did you know that every week, a group of folks gathers for online fellowship after worship?

Online Fellowship is a wonderful way to stay connected when you are out and about, traveling, home sick, caring for a loved one, or otherwise unable to make it to church in person. It offers a simple way to keep seeing familiar faces, meeting new friends, and sharing in the life of our church community no matter where you are.

So brew yourself a cup of tea, pull up a cozy chair, and join us for conversation and connection with friends old and new. Whether you come every week or just once in a while, you are welcome.



Please note this coming week we will be using a NEW link for online fellowship:
