Church guide

After a number of months on hospice, Carl Schluntz, passed away earlier today. From a family email letter sent today: "We heard on Saturday that he had taken a turn for the worse, and we drove down from Maine to Connecticut. We gathered by his bed and sang some of his favorite hymns. Carl couldn’t speak, but he used all his strength to hum along with us for a couple lines. We are sad, but also relieved, as he was in such pain at the end. We’d appreciate your prayers for the family." I (Pastor Mat) spoke with family and they said that Carl's request is for a family graveside service next week. Laura will be at the house this week. Please pray for Ginnie. She asks for your prayers, but needs some space to process the loss of her beloved husband of many years. In Christ, Pastor Mat

"The bottom line is that the earliest Christians didn’t really have to 'choose' the four gospels from among all the others. Rather the four canonical gospels were simply the ones that had been there from the very beginning. The early church didn’t pick the gospels, but inherited them."

Fascinating story

Jaleith, Chris, Sarah and I had a lot of fun on this new podcast from Urban Alliance Hartford, where we talk about Mental Health and Christianity and some of what we're doing at Glastonbury Community Church by hosting Community Conversations

Pastor Mat recently shared about GCC's Community Conversations on Mental Health with the new podcast by Urban Alliance Hartford, "The Fulcrum"

"And here’s the sick irony: by driving off the elderly, they were driving off the people who, through their weakness, would bring a unique strength."

This is more true for most churches than we want to admit. Today we're so grateful for our Awana Trek and Journey groups for teens and that they're able to wrestle with such important questions.

In his sermon today, Pastor Mat shared about this amazing story. You can click to hear the singing.

Summer Schedule Starts this Sunday, 9:30am Worship Service!

Pray for tomorrow's Revitalize Outreach in Hartford!
