December 29, 2024 Year-end Worship Service

The Christian worship service of the United Church of Colchester, at 900 Main Street in Colchester, Vermont for Sunday, December 29, 2024. We had a delightful gathering of members and friends for worship and fellowship on this last wintery Sunday of 2024. Following the service we adjourned to the Parish Hall for a cup of coffee and a snack.
This morning's sermon, entitled "The Fourth Wise Man" was delivered by our pastor, Rev. Russell Willis. It was based in part on Psalm 148, Colossians 3: 12-17 and "The Story of the Other Wise Man," a short novel by Henry van Dyke (1895).
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.

Our benediction:
CLOTHES MAKE THE BELIEVER
We got a gift of clothes for Christmas
Don't think of returning for the right size
"Clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, meekness, and patience."
Don't worry about colors or styles
"Clothe yourselves in love"
Even as you grow, do not forget to robe yourselves in sacrifice
Do not forget to listen and ask questions
Even as we become the ones who are supposed to have the answers.
