A Big Thank you from the Mission Committee
The Mission Committee would like to thank the congregation for their generosity in donating Christmas gifts for the 2017 “Under the Tree”
project. We were able to fill all of BHCare’s requests. The gifts from you made a difference this holiday season in the lives of families in the Valley coping with the effect of domestic violence and mental illness. Thank you! Holly Fassbender, Eva Washenko, Sheryl Dutkanicz, Charles Bures
(Some historical tidbits about our history in Shelton)
The library actually has a name – it is officially the “Judson Room”.
Today’s Women’s Fellowship actually dates back many, many years. Originally known as the “Ladies Aid Society”, the women joined together to act as hostesses to help in any way they could. They often served suppers – turkey dinners, buffet dinners and strawberry festivals. They also filled boxes for the poor, sewed clothing for crippled children, pieced quilts or cut and sewed rags for a carpet. In addition, gave auctions, upholstered church furniture and laid carpet. They paid mortgages, gave money for foreign missions and helped other church organizations. They have a rich history with HCC and continue to support the church today in many similar ways.
