Annual Gathering

Grace Baptist Church, Waterbury
At the 2009 Annual Gathering our focus was on "being the hands and feet of Christ" -- a focus that was acted upon rather than talked about. During part of the day participants engaged in mission activities either at the church or out in the community. Among the activities engaged in:
- stocking shelves at a local food pantry
- preparing lunch at a soup kitchen
- helping sort clothes in a thrift store
- visiting residents at a convalescent home
- doing chores at a senior residence
- building sawhorses and a picnic table for Habitat for Humanity
- making Afghans for the Warm Up America program
- making decorations for Pierce and CT Baptist Homes
- assembling gift packages for HIV/AIDS ministry and Church World Service health kits

Discipleship Fair
October 18, 2008
First Baptist Church, New London
On Saturday, October 18th, over 70 people gathered in New London for the Discipleship Fair. There were workshops on topics including choosing curriculum, the health care crisis, and a sabbatical trip to the Republic of Georgia, among others. Children decorated flip flops to be given to people in Haiti who walk without shoes, and the youth worked on a poster which they shared during the closing moments of the day. It was a good day and a great opportunity to share resources, fellowship, and faith.
