Live-Streaming on YouTube !!!!
We are happy to re-introduce our live streaming service. In the past we have done so through our Facebook page but have decided that the services of YouTube will be better moving forward. As we all know, the continued circumstances of our world has become increasingly clear that we need to adapt and embrace new technologies to ensure that all members of our congregation can participate in our worship, regardless of physical location or circumstances. Livestreaming our services on YouTube will allow us to reach those who are unable to join us in person due to illness, travel constraints, or other commitments.
We want to assure you that while we are embracing this new technology, our commitment to fostering a sense of belonging and connection within our congregation remains unwavering. Livestreaming our services via YouTube is not meant to replace the experience of gathering in person but rather to complement it, offering an additional avenue for engagement and participation.
For those interested in worshiping with us via live-streaming, you can do so by following the link provided below that will take you to our YouTube channel. We encourage you to both subscribe and click the bell icon to help you be notified when we go live every week. Our hope is that through this live-streaming alternative, we can all spread the word and invite others to join us virtually, as we embark on this exciting new chapter together.
As always, we are grateful for your continued support, dedication, and enthusiasm for our congregation. Together, we will continue to strengthen our bonds of fellowship and faith, both in person and online!

Neighbors In Need (NIN) Offering, Sunday Oct 5th
In honor of World Communion Sunday, we will be accepting your offering for the Neighbors in Need (N-I-N), a Special Offering. This special mission of the UCC supports our ministries of justice and compassion right here in the USA.
A just world for all is a world where the human rights and well-being of people with mental health challenges are respected, no matter who you are or where you are in life’s mental health journey.
Memorial Garden Flag
Hey Folks, we have noticed that someone placed a flag in the memorial garden outside. But, we don't know who put it there or whom it is in memory of. We'd like to honor its placement - so if you know anything about it, please contact the church office or Pastor Susan directly. Thank you.
Mission Minded
It's that time of year again. School is in session so our Operation 143 plastic container is in the back of our Sanctuary waiting for your easy open, no heat foods for the children (and families) to have to eat over the weekends. We have been donating to this organization for a number of years and thanks to everyone's donations, it has been a success. There are lists of food that are good items to buy and, remember, the food does not have to be name brands it can be store brands.
The Mission Committee has helped the Good Samaritans Organization with a donation towards getting a new boiler for their Phoenixville building.
Good Works has us scheduled to make sandwiches for workers that repair houses for those people that cannot afford to fix them. So make sure you check out the November Newsletter for the date and time, for us to make the sandwiches, because we need HELPERS! There will be a sign up sheet on the back table!
FREEZER MEAL MINISTRY
A small gesture, like providing a meal, can be a blessing both to the giver and receiver. This program is an opportunity for volunteers to prepare meals that can be frozen in advance and available to be shared with families or individuals in our church or community who are facing a life event (i.e. welcoming a new child, experiencing a personal crisis or medical issue, grieving a loss, etc.). We keep them in the freezer downstairs for distribution. See the Sign Up Sheet at the Back of the Church Sanctuary.
GOT A STASH OF OLD GLASSES &/or CELL PHONES?
Get rid of unwanted clutter! St. Vincent will have two baskets in the back of the church, one for eyeglasses and one for smart phones. We will be donating the glasses to the Lions Club and the smart phones will be donated to women’s shelters. What a wonderful way to pass on unwanted items. We have basket at the back of the Table at back of the sanctuary.
Every donation, big or small, brings warmth and hope to those in need! Thank you for spreading kindness and compassion!
