ECUC Wednesday Night Lenten Service Series Goes Virtual!
During this Covid-19 pandemic, each of the churches of the East Coventry Union of Churches has conducted their Sunday worship services in their own way. Most of us continue to conduct our services in a virtual manner and post them on Facebook. Therefore, we have decided to conduct our combined Wednesday Night Lenten Services in this same way.
You will be able to tune in to each mid-week Lenten Service by visiting the Facebook page of the Host Church and tuning in as a Guest for that event. If you are already a Facebook user, simply go on and search for the address for that church a few minutes before the service will begin and you will be able to view the service live. If an invitation pops up for you to create a Facebook account, simply click on “not now” and scroll to find the live event.
If you need help, contact someone you know who is familiar with using Facebook. Below, you'll find the schedule for the Host Church and how to access each service. Though this method of “being together” will be different from other years, our virtual services will help us to continue to “be together in Spirit” during this sacred time of Lent. May we meet what is Holy in our midst and embrace all that it has to offer us on this special Lenten Journey.

Supporting Your Church
There have been questions about how to continue to make your offerings. Members are mailing in their offerings routinely, some have signed up for e-giving, and others have asked if they could use PayPal. Yes, you can use PayPal via the "USE APP" button on our ST. VINCENT UNITED CHURCH OF CHRIST Facebook page to donate to St Vincent UCC. By pressing the blue "USE APP” bar under the large picture of the church, you can connect to your PayPal account. Then follow the PayPal instructions.
Thank you to ALL our congregants and friends that continue to support our church while socially distancing.
