Sunday School - Sundays at 9:15 a.m.-10:15a.m. -- We have classes starting at the three-year-old level all the way to High School Youth.  Classes are now enjoying the brand new classrooms the Lord has given us.  We begin each week or at the start of the year with a gathering of all the classes in the Church for an opening and then break up into our individual classes with age appropriate materials centered in Jesus' love for all His children.  For more information call our Sunday School Superintendent Kelly Tellier at 738-3508.

Adult Bible Study - Sundays at 9:15 a.m. in the "Upper Room" or starting Monday, Sept. 14th, there will be a different Bible Study Monday thru Thursday evenings. They meet in comfortable settings and always welcome all comers!  People are never forced to read or speak out loud and friendly discussion is always welcome.

 

Women's Small Group Study meets on Thursday at 7:15 P.M for fellowship and 7:30-8:30 for study in the upper-conference room each week at St. Paul's.

We begin our study October 27, 2009 using the CPH 6 week study guide titled, You & Me Lord, by Carolyn Sims. You're invited to spend time in the light of God's Word, looking at some of the challenges we face in our lives today as the Introduction states "whether positive or negative the bottom line is that we are not facing them alone - it's "you and Me, Lord" together".

Please join us if you need (or can give) support and encouragement to someone else. In this study we will be reminded of God's great blessings as He offers Pardon for the Past, Power for the Present, and Promise for the Future.

Please contact Jo-Ann Fecto or Heidi Gallagher if you have any questions and pray that you will consider joining us for blessed fellowship with the Lord!  This study is ongoing.  

St. Paul's Community Nursery School - Weekday mornings September through May.  We have a Nursery School Program in existence for over thirty years, fully licensed by the state of Connecticut, and taught by a staff that includes college graduates and a head teacher with a degree in early childhood education from St. Joseph's College plus a degree in nutrition from Cornell University.  Four-year-olds meet Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and three-year-olds meet Tuesday and Thursday.  For more information call our registrar Janice Becker at (860)379-6417or the school at (860)379-3172.
