November 17, 2024 Sunday Worship Service

The Christian worship service of the United Church of Colchester, at 900 Main Street in Colchester, Vermont for Sunday, November 17, 2024. We had a delightful gathering of members and friends for worship and fellowship on a cold Vermont fall day. Following the service we adjourned to the Parish Hall for a cup of coffee, some snacks, and fellowship.
This morning's sermon, entitled "Wars And Rumors Of Wars" was delivered by our pastor, Rev. Russell Willis. It was based in part on I Samuel 2: 1-10 and Hebrews 10: 11-25.
From the founding of the original church on this location in 1804, we remain committed to following in the way of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and bearing witness to the coming Kingdom of God through our life together. A Christ centered family oriented community church, we are affiliated with the American Baptist Churches of Vermont and New Hampshire. We strive to be a church family, caring for each other, our community, and through our supported missions and ministries, the world beyond.

WARS AND RUMORS OF WARS
Sick and tired of
Wars and rumors of wars
We endlessly fall into
Wars and rumors of wars
This endless falling will continue
Until it dawns on us that
We are not called to be
Sick and tired of
Wars and rumors of wars;
We are called to make peace,
Beginning in the kitchen
With our little wars and rumors of wars,
And moving out from there.
