CHURCH EVENTS & OTHER EVENTS OF INTEREST

Pastor Patty's Musical Menagerie

This is an online ministry of the West Stockbridge Congregational Church, UCC supported by the Berkshire Association of the United Church of Christ.
"Hi Friends! I launched this ministry to focus on the spiritual needs of children. Once a week I teach a song and share a lesson live on Facebook. Later in the week we visit online again to review the song.
The special twist is that I include an animal friend from the farm community where I live in each of the videos. Participants can request a special prayer card that has a picture of our animal friends as well as a written prayer for children everywhere.
