Special Notice From Our Pastor

November 28, 2022

Hello Beloveds, 

With the Christmas Season upon us, I need to send out a reminder. Churches are sometimes the target of scammers. Christian parishioners seek to do good over the holidays, and unfortunately that good will can be taken advantage of. It has become a common practice for Church emails to be hacked, and bogus messages get sent to unwary parishioners. It happened several times when I was in Marlborough, and in one instance, a member bought several hundred dollars in gift cards because she thought the Senior Pastor was asking.

I will NEVER send out a request for money or gift cards. This congregation is generous to a fault, and I want to make sure your good nature and generosity are not impinged upon. We will still collect gloves, socks, and hats for the warming center, but please, if you receive what looks like a personal email from me that asks you to buy something, ignore it.

You are all a blessing to me personally, I could not ask for more, much love, Denise

WELCOME
We, the members of the West Suffield Congregational Church, are called by God to live as one community. We strive to love, as we are loved by God, both freely and unconditionally. We recognize, celebrate, and affirm that all persons are individuals of sacred worth. Therefore, we intentionally welcome all God’s children regardless of race, gender, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, nationality, ethnicity, marital status, physical or mental ability, political stance, or theological perspective. Each person is important to God and each person’s abilities and gifts are called forth to help build and strengthen the work of Gods’ Kingdom here, in our community and around the world. We strive with the help of the Holy Spirit to become more like Jesus in our love and support for one another, in order to oppose and overcome any injustice, oppression, and prejudice that continues in our society, our communities, and ourselves.
