CARING TAKES A VILLAGE
This winter will likely be a difficult one for many in our quiet corner. If you are struggling or feel like you are just getting by, we understand. We have resources that may help. If you are doing well enough and are able to help others, we have ministries where you can make a difference. Let us care for one another so that we may all be thankful.
GOD SMILES WHEN WE
TAKE CARE OF ONE ANOTHER
PARENT'S DAY OUT
Life is busy these days, especially during the holidays. For parents the pressure can be overwhelming. There is just not enough time to get everything done. In order to give you a few hours to knock one more item off the list or finally be able to gain a few moments for yourself, we are offering a parent's day out Saturday afternoon, November 21st from 2PM - 5PM.
If you have children ages 3 - 13 and live in northeastern Connecticut, we would like to support you for a few hours late November. There is no cost. This is our way of saying, "Hey, you are doing the best you can. Let us care for you and your loved ones." Registration is open until November 18th.
In order to take part in this Parent's Day Out, please register by clicking the button below or by calling 860 - 230 - 6804. We hope you take care of yourself during this holiday season!
rejoice with us
No matter the present crisis, no storm is able to take away your joy. In the midst of sunshine and rain, take a few moments each week to rejoice with us as we celebrate Jesus and his love for you and me.
Each Sunday at 10am we gather in our cozy sanctuary to share about the week, catch up with one another, sing cherished hymns, and learn a little more about God. Our worship will hopefully nourish the soul and nudge our feet and hands to serve, give, and hold.
Join us any Sunday, whether online or in person at 53 Grove St., in Putnam, CT 06260. We hope to rejoice with you soon!

WHAT DRIVES US?
Well...love. There you have it. We believe God is love and when we love one another then we are fulfilling our purpose and making this town and this world a better place in the process. So that's what we do. We don't make you join or rebaptize you or call out your sins or shout out fire and brimstone -- there's already so much of that going on.
Not us. Instead: we accept you, we affirm you, we make sure you have what you need to survive, and together we look out and go out to serve those most in need. That's our mission. It's simple and yet takes a lifetime to do well, but we believe Jesus would do that. We think that's what love looks like. So, stop by and find out. Amen?
One of the central invitations of Jesus' ministry is to help our neighbors -- that means you! Here at Living Faith UMC we live out our faith each and every day in service to our wider community through a number of ministries. Check them out by clicking the link below and consider this an invitation to get involved.
WE ARE A CHURCH WITH A MISSION TO HELP
GIVE LOVE HERE
Help us bless Northeastern CT by blessing this faith community with your support. Now support comes in all forms: time, talents, and treasures too. Time and talents are most important, but the hard thing is most of us are busy! We barely have enough time for our friends, family, and ourselves. We know that well.
So if you are busy, then the next best thing is supporting Living Faith through financial gifts. Any gift goes right back into serving your neighbors who are most in need and most dependent on the ministries of this church.
Consider giving one time or becoming a sustaining steward of the church through recurring donations each month. Every gift helps spread love, grace, hope, and good news to those who need it!
