Sign Up to receive church newsletters and service announcements by email
Receive news of the church and community in your e-mail inbox about once a month, and a link to each worship video weekly. Each person in your household can subscribe to have these sent to their very own inbox. It’s free!
NOTE: When we launched the e-newsletter, some of you found that your issues went somewhere other than your email inbox. Among the ways to fix this is to put the church’s email address (office@ngucc.org) in your Contacts so that your email server will “recognize” us and deliver your mail.
ALSO NOTE: you can UN-subscribe at any time; just click on UNSUBSCRIBE at the bottom of any newsletter or service notice.
For those who do not “do” e-mail, we are happy to send you newsletters in a snail-mail version by first class mail. Please use the CONTACT US tab, above, to request the paper newsletter; don’t forget to include your street address.
Distribution days for the remainder of the summer are: July 24, August 14, and August 28. Please note that there are 3 weeks between the second July and the first August distribution days.
There are things we “amost never” can purchase at our usual supplier, Good Shepherd Food Bank, so if you are in the giving (and shopping) mood, our clients would love to have:
Beans (baked beans, other canned beans, dry beans), Jam/Jelly, Scallop/Gratin Potato side dishes, Fruit Juice in plastic containers, Spaghetti-O’s or other canned pasta, Coffee, Tea and Hot Chocolate, shampoo, dish detergent, liquid laundry detergent, garbage bags.
PLEASE check expiration dates!
It is our mission to be a reliable source of supplemental food throughout the year. Twice a month, we offer non-perishable foods purchased at Good Shepherd Food Bank and/or given by generous individual donors, and surplus produce, bread and other bakery items collected from the Gray Hannaford store.
Donations are welcome during the week, when the church office is open. Cash gifts are also welcome(click on the MAKE A DONATION tab above)
Distribution of food happens at the back of 19 Gloucester Hill Road, off Church Road, from 8-9:30 AM on the Second and Fourth Saturdays of Every Month.
Open to New Gloucester residents. Quick once/year registration; quick check-in. (New Gloucester residents may also use the Gray food pantry , which is open on the first and third Friday afternoons each month.)
Thursdays at 3
A new set of bible passages each week, tied to the Sunday service. We meet in the church library. Come and explore with us.
If you want to read ahead, you can find a calendar of the readings HERE.
Sanctuary Choir rehearses at 7 pm on Wednesdays. Singers of all voice groups are welcome to join in the fun and fellowship. At each rehearsal we do several voice (and brain) warm-ups before we launch into the anthems. There is laughter, sympathy, prayer, and sometimes sweet treats at the end. We also keep a calendar on the wall so singers planning to be away can pencil in their dates. C’mon. You know you want to!
Handchime choir rehearses at 6 pm on Wednesdays. We could easily use a few more people. Ideally, each ringer has only two or three bells, and some of our regulars have been juggling 5 or 6…so, yes, there’s room for you.
