Phasing Forward into the Fall When the pandemic first began your Bridge Conference ministers recommended the suspension of In Person inside worship for two weeks.  As the COVID-19 pandemic spread, that went from two weeks to two months to spring and then to summer.  At this point, five months into the pandemic and part way through the summer season, we are seeing a resurgence of the spread of COVID across the country.  New hot spots are developing and new milestones are happening.  While the spread is more contained and controlled within our region it is difficult to predict trends over the next few weeks and months.

If you need assistance while Jill is away please contact Deb Holmes at holmesd@sneucc.org or 508-963-8106.

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.
