October 21, 2011... October is Founders' Month. This Sunday, October 23rd, we will be continuing our Church History series with a presentation of The Tenure of Rev. Arthur Ventura (1939 – 1951) and Rev. Edward Saabye (1951-1972). There will even be a small vignette for those with a short attention span. Also this Sunday, there will be a family dedication of Alexandria and Regan Rawcliffe. These two young girls are great-great granddaughters of one of our founders, Ermalindo Volpe. How fitting that they should be dedicated during Founders' Month. The service starts at 10:00 am. Please join us

June 27, 2011... Yesterday was a great day at Lincoln Woods when we had our annual picnic.  There was a great turnout, and the food was great.  A big thank you to Bobby and Richard for all of their hard work.   And, also, a thanks and a hug to all those who brought a side dish or a dessert.  We started out the day with coffee and donuts, thanks to Dick and Jean DiMeo.   Rev. Miller gave a Service Express, with a wonderful message about your favorite flower.  After the brief message, we all sang For the Beauty of the Earth.  Singing that song, as we stood amongst God's creations, was quite meaningful.  Following the Pastor's message we enjoyed all the wonderful food, followed by great fellowship.  The pictures below reflect the great time everyone had....   Pastor Miller speaking to us, the chow line, and the Romano Clan enjoying the fellowship with Pastor Miller.

  • June 7, 2011...  At its monthly meeting on June 6th, the Advisory Board selected a committee to plan the installation and reception for our new minister, Rev.

  • June 5, 2011...  It was with much excitement and anticipation, that the congregation, overwhelmingly, voted on Sunday, June 5th, to ask Rev. James C. Miller to be our Pastor. AND, he accepted!  He has been with us for over a year in an interim capacity, and has brought a new energy to our congregation. We all look forward to the days, weeks, and years ahead, as a time of new birth for our congregation, to the spiritual fulfillment that Rev. Miller has already begun to give us, and with the knowledge that we know we are in good hands. We are so very blessed to have him with us. The service that he presented on that day was beautiful, so meaningful, and very symbolic. It brought us all, including our new Pastor, together.

    • May 3, 2011...   The Advisory Board felt that Providence Intown Churches Association (PICA) is an especially worthy cause. Therefore, at the May Advisory Board meeting the Board voted to continue designating the Communion and Love Gift offering to this organization for June, July, and August. This is a faith-based nonprofit agency whose mission is to offer stability, justice and hope to those in need through advocacy and direct service. PICA envisions a community where all people have their basic human needs met, and are treated with respect and dignity regardless of their individual or group situation.
