Moderator's March Message

Hello!  I hope everyone is staying warm this winter season.  February has flown by and hopefully March brings us some warmer weather.
It is my honor to be the church moderator again this year!  I learned a lot from my first year.  I intend to bring these learnings to task during my second.

We had our first church council meeting of 2025 this past Monday (Feb. 17).  We welcomed our newest council members; Shawn Pugsley, Tina Harte and Rose Moehring.  I would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that we have several committees here at the UCC that offer a great way to become more involved. You do not have to be a church council member to be on a committee.  We have a Mission & Outreach committee which is going to be a big priority for us this year.  We also have Worship, Building & Grounds and Welcome committees just to name a few.  If anyone is interested, please see me.
One of the first things the Mission and Outreach committee is planning is a special offering for the United Church of Christ’s Disaster Relief Ministries.  This offering will help people rebuild after the California wildfires.  This is planned for March 2nd during our usual offering time here at the UCC.
 

Easter is fast approaching and we have a lot of exciting things planned!  We will be the host church starting March 12 of the Ecumenical Wednesday noon worship service and lunches.  The events are sponsored by the Watertown Ministerial Association and will run through Lent season.  We are having an “All Hands on Deck” clean up session at our church to prepare for these events on March 1 at 9:00 am.  Please join us if you are available.  
Looking forward to working with everyone and having an amazing 2025!

Love to all,

Susan
