Volume 1 — Issue 8

If you know of someone (Chicopee residents only please) who could use help with food, let them know about our Lord’s Pantry. Church family, this applies to you as well. If you could use a little help with food, please visit our pantry (see hours below). And If you find yourself with a little extra time, please contact Richard Sanders to volunteer. We need help setting up for a couple of hours on

Mondays and help with food distribution on Tuesdays from 9-11 am. (6-8 pm on the 2nd Tuesday of the month.) We provide masks and gloves. And thank you to all those currently serving!

Most of our missionaries have provided video updates for us. We will be sharing some of these during our Sunday broadcasts. Meanwhile, they are also posted on our website. You can view them here.

We are planning another Virtual Youth Group for Sunday, May 17th at 6:30. This time, the two program directors at Monadnock, Evan & Roy, are going to be joining us. Our plan is to do every other Sunday night until we are hopefully back in person !

Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. Romans 12:12

Thanks to those who requested to receive our weekly prayer sheet via email. If you would like to be added to the mailing list, please click here to let the church office know. We’ll be happy to add you!
