Beloveds In Christ, Our vital, intergenerational music program is just one of the many ways that we invite our community to discover Christ and answer God’s call in Winthrop, Maine. The result of this ministry and the relationships it builds across generations and musical styles is significant, and you are invited to be a part of something with such a positive impact. |

As you know, this is not the only way that our congregation creatively lives out its ministry and mission. We support our local food pantry and domestic violence shelter. We have connected with the international work of Church World Service, making donations of funds as well as school and hygiene bags. We have joyful church fairs where we can meet the community, share our creativity, and work together for the good of our church. We keep a deacons' fund, which we use to help neighbors in need stay housed, buy groceries, and stay warm in the winter. We are transforming lives while we are being transformed by the love of God at the same time. We are discerning what it means to be a community that is welcome at the Table, thinking deeply about the invitations that God has placed before us to be generous with all of our resources!
I want to thank you for being partners in the ministry and mission of Winthrop Congregational Church UCC. Alongside your prayers and actions, your ongoing financial gifts make a difference in the lives of many people. In the next few weeks, you will hear more about how we as a congregation are responding to God’s invitation to bring our best before God. As you know that will require our investment with both our spiritual and financial gifts. Because you already participate generously in our church's mission with your contributions of prayers, volunteer time, and offerings, you know the difference your gift makes. I invite you to pray about how God is calling you to be a part of the mission of this church in the upcoming year, including the question of what financial contribution you can share.
Make plans now to join us on Commitment Sunday, October 29th, when we will bless our pledges and recommit ourselves to following our call from God in the new year.
Again, thank you for your part in the life-changing work of this congregation.
Generously yours,
The Board of Church and Community Concerns

Support Our Ministry! As we often say, no matter who you are or where you are on life's journey, you are welcome here. Since its founding in 1776, our Winthrop Church has borne witness to the belief that God's love is a gift for all people and for all times. In January of 2017, the church took a step of faith and committed to raise the funds to help us live into our next steps as a place of welcome for all people. With our neighbors' help and the commitment of our church members, we were able to fulfill the promises we made. |
