from the Trustees - Budgets are due no later than Jan 10, 2010. It was wonderful to see that the 15 Christmas Angles were taken right away, if you didn't get one and would still like to donate toys or clothing just bring the item in, unwrapped, and plce it in the missions box. The Trustees will make sure it will go to a child in the Torrington area who will enjoy it.

from Pastor Steven Darr - New Members classes will begin in January.  Special Prayer Request for the First Congregational Church of Thomaston - they are considering a new affiliation and possibly leaving the UCC.
