Worship Directory • Addison Independent, Thursday, March 22, 2018 — PAGE 3

The Addison Independent’s annual Worship Directory is published at a time of year when many faiths celebrate holy days and seasonal rebirth. To Christians and Jews Easter and Passover help celebrate resurrection and salvation, freedom from slavery and God’s gift of a new life. Other more secular people mark the season with new growth and life as we emerge from winter into spring.

Whether in a formal group, church, synagogue or mosque, or in a private and solitary way, many people are connected to traditions of worship. With this annual publication, we seek to provide a resource of venues and communities that draws a picture of the many local practices of worship. These are thriving, community-focused and rich cultural centers within our small towns and give us reason to celebrate their presence and give thanks for their prosperity.

Community Food Shelf

Brandon Congregational Church - United Church of Christ Sunday Worship at 10a.m. year round • The Reverend William L. Bartholomew, Interim Pastor Our congregation is an inclusive, diverse, Christ-centered community of faith, open and affirming of all God’s children. We are called to walk humbly with God in fairness, kindness, love, peace and joy. We seek to follow Jesus in worship and music, outreach, in-reach and fellowship. We welcome all who seek a spiritual home where love prevails.

Missions: We host the Brandon Food Shelf and support other local mission projects that provide services and assistance to people of all ages. Our Pastor has a discretionary fund that may be utilized to help individuals with transportation, short-term housing and other needs. We have meals for the general public where free-will offerings are taken rather than charging an admission fee. Our Sunshine and Hospitality Committees provide rides to services for those who no longer drive and healthy meals are delivered to housebound people in the community. Brandon Cares was begun by this congregation and has grown into a community wide project. Scouts and other community groups use our buildings.

Music: Our adult choir provides music during Sunday Services from September through June. The Brandon Festival Singers have performed a special holiday concert the second Sunday in December for the past 37 years under Gene Childers, Director, with Jean Childers, accompanist.

Education Programs: It is our goal to offer age appropriate activities to children who attend our services in addition to our regularly scheduled programs and bible study classes for adults and young people.

Hospitality: Coffee and other beverages and light snacks are offered after the service in Fellowship Hall.

The Brandon Congregational Church was established in 1785. The present building was erected in 1832 and the adjacent Fellowship Hall was built in the second half of the nineteenth century. It contains the Town Clock and has a Tracker Pipe Organ and Carillon. It is handicapped accessible and has hearing assistance devices available.

We know that in serving our neighbor we are serving God!

In this “Year of the Family” St. Peter’s & St. Ambrose Parish Communities are focused on making Jesus’ Mission our Mission!

This Mission involves two things, sharing the Good News of God’s love and by reaching out to those in need.

One of the ways that we are sharing this Good News is via our Addison County Youth Ministry program which helps our youth to discover God’s love for them and to share that love by serving others. We also have ongoing Adult Education, and a Bible Study group. Learning about God’s love and sharing that love is what we are all called to do.

Our Parish is also very pleased to serve the needs of our brothers and sisters in the Vergennes area in many different ways though our Social Action committee. I would like to list just a few in case you would like to be part of or in need of these important services.

1) Free Monthly Community Meals; 2) Thrift shop; 3) Graham Shelter elves; 4) Food Shelf supporters; 5) Meals for those in need; 6) Youth Ministry shut-in meals; 7) Funeral reception meals; and 8) Our Parish Hall is available for many community functions
