CLCWomen’s Retreat - Ladies, treat yourselves to a gift by signing up for the CLCW Women’s Retreat, Saturday May 26th - 8:30 AM to 3:30 PM. A sign up sheet is located on the bulletin board in the hallway. It will once again be held at Our Lady of Calvary Retreat Center, Farmington, CT. Retreat registration fee: $20 per person includes lunch. The subject of this year’s retreat will be a discussion of “The Ultimate Gift”, by Jim Stovall. “When you have concluded reading The Ultimate Gift and have begun in earnest your life’s journey, my fervent hope is that you will share The Ultimate Gift with friends, family and the special people in your world who make your life’s journey priceless.” Jim Stovall. Please make your check for the registration fee of $20.00 payable to CLCW. Kindly place it in the box labeled CLCW RETREAT, which will be located on the counter outside the church office or give it to Vicki by Sunday May 20th. If you have any questions, please contact Vicki DePaolo, 203-697-0810.

All are welcome to join us every Sunday between the 8:00 service and Bible Study as we gather for fellowship and coffee. Bringing a baked good item to share is not required, but always welcomed.

Kids Bulletins (for ages 3-6 & 7-12) are always available here on the narthex table along with our regular Sunday Service bulletins. They are always linked with the day’s Scripture readings. Kids - bring your own pencils.

Volunteers Needed to deliver baby items for the Baskets of Love program. If you are able and would like to deliver items, there are a few months towards the end of the year that are in need of volunteers. Please consider helping by signing up on the bulletin board.

Baskets of Love - our ongoing ministry of collecting “gently used” or new baby clothes, blankets, toys, disposable diapers, etc. for babies 0-12 months benefit new mothers who have no means to support a newborn child. Items purchased new or from the Good Will store, etc. can be placed in the basinet located in the hallway. Waterbury hospitals are in great need of this ministry and mothers are very appreciative!

Helping Hands - If you would like to volunteer as a member of the helping hands committee by making a meal for someone who is in need, please call Christine Mason so that we may call upon you when the need arises for your assistance.
