    2) Volunteer or Sponsor a Meal as an Organization

    Are you connected with an organization that would like to sponsor a meal or organize a group to volunteer together? Community supper is truly a community-wide effort, and your organization can make a huge impact while also strengthening your team and having fun. Fill out this form to connect!


    3) Show up to a Friday night meal

    Community Supper is not JUST about a free meal—it’s about sharing stories, building connections, and creating a space where neighbors become friends. Simply by showing up, you can contribute a great deal to making this a welcoming community for everyone at the table. Pull up a chair and join us, every Friday evening at 5 p.m. in Fellowship Hall.

  • Gather & Share: April

    Our church has set a goal of donating three tons of food to the HOPE food shelf this year. For April, we have chosen supplies...meant to add some spiff and shine to a home...spring cleaning!


    This Lent, we encourage you to make donating to HOPE one of your Lenten disciplines. Some people give things up for Lent, but perhaps this season, your practice could be giving—helping our neighbors as a way to draw closer to God.

    Bring your donations to Church and we will make sure they reach those in need!

    Can you help fulfill their basic needs list?


    Spring cleaning supplies for the home: floors, windows, fridge, toilet, oven

    Soaps: laundry, dish, dishwasher, hand, face, and body


    Thank you,

    —The Board of Mission and Social Concerns

  • Midday Bible Study: The Epistles of John

    The Epistles of John make a wondrous claim at the dawn of the second century (CE): GOD IS LOVE. In the three letters of John, the author reminds his early Christian community that their love of God must be made manifest in the love they show one another. Here in the twenty-first century, what might learn from these ancient texts?


    Pastor Andy will lead a seven-session class on The Epistles of John (I John, II John, III John). Classes will be held on consecutive Wednesdays from noon to 1:00 in Unity Hall beginning March 12. Online participation is welcome; click HERE for the Zoom link

  • The 2025 Scott Symposium at Middlebury College: Christian Nationalism

    Christian nationalists insist that the US was founded by and for Christians. As a resurgent populist movement in contemporary American politics, Christian nationalism aims to establish the legal, moral, and cultural dominance of an ultra-conservative, exclusivist interpretation of the religion, and it views diversity and pluralism as existential threats to that objective. This year’s Scott Lecture Series, sponsored by the Religion Department at Middlebury College, will invite a range of scholars to help us understand this movement, its roots, its adherents, and the consequences it poses to American public life.


    This four-part lecture series will feature scholars and authors examining the intersections of faith, politics, identity, and power from a variety of perspectives.


    Topics include:

    • The rise of Christian nationalism in American politics
    • The role of social media in amplifying extremism
    • Queer and critical responses to Christian America
    • Christian theological perspectives on nationalism and the modern state


    Join us for thoughtful conversation and critical engagement throughout the month of April. All events are free and open to the public. Sponsored by the Charles P. Scott Fund (Religion Department) with additional support from the Rohatyn Center for Global Affairs.


    For dates, speakers, and locations, visit the Religion Department's website.
