Mayflower Congregation Church
 

Monday May 5th
Happy May Day! The earliest May Day celebrations appeared in pre-Christian Europe, as the Celtic celebration of Beltane, and Walpurgis Night of the Germanic countries. Many pre-Christian indigenous celebrations were eventually banned or Christianized during the Christianization of Europe.
May Day may be most known for its tradition of dancing the Maypole and crowning the queen of May. It certainly is a celebration of the coming of spring and that is a hopeful thought.

Congratulations to Molly Marcus, and Travis Bishop for your state honors for singing!
Sincere condolences to the Sandall family on the passing of their mother Arline. 

Rev. Ken will be attending the annual meeting and Rev. Steve will be attending his daughter’s graduation from the University of Connecticut.

Let us hold in our prayers: The Sandall Family
Tom Sheets and for Pat as she brings tender
Loving care giving for Tom.

For Pricilla the daughter in law the Foos.
Prayers that all our service men and women will be kept safe and return home soon. We pray that their families are given strength in this very difficult time.

Blessings and Peace in your Day

Mayflower is a United Church of Christ/ Congregational local church community of women, men, youth and children who seek to worship and serve God in the midst of a progressive understanding of our place and call in a diverse, exciting and promise-filled creation.

Mayflower has declared itself to be a Just Peace Church and an Open and Affirming Congregation.

We gathered in 1960, and since then have continued to look for and tried to follow the example and spirit of the Christ who cares for and about all within the human family. We don’t always agree with each other, but we do look for ways to appreciate and respect our variety of perspectives and our diversity of gifts with thanks to God that there is always more light to break forth from the word.


Mayflower Congregational United Church of Christ, re-affirmed the 1999 Mission and Vision statement which calls us to consider that

It is the mission of Mayflower Congregational Church, United Church of Christ,

TO ENCOURAGE Faithful and thoughtful study of scripture and joyful worship of God,

TO LOVE Justice, seek peace, celebrate diversity and affirm the dignity of all,

TO UNDERSTAND That God’s presence is expressed in love of one another, and

TO DEMONSTRATE Christian Faith Through Service to Our Community, Nation and World.

FAITH BUILDS OUR FUTURE

God is still speaking
