On Sunday, June 13th, Coffee Hour will be hosted by our Sunday School children and staff.  This gathering will mark the end of our “formal” Coffee Hours, but take heart…the Summer schedule is in the process of being completed.  For the final two Sundays in June, all Sundays in July and August, and the first Sunday in September volunteers will host a much simplier version of Coffee Hour.  But the best part will still be the wonderful opportunity for fellowship that is just too good to miss during the summer months.  Here’s the chance to see your church family and friends and catch up with all the summer activities going on.  If you would like to take a turn hosting Coffee Hour during the summer, speak with Janet LaGrange.

Pastor Carl Franson will be joining us Sunday, July 12th.  We will be having a special coffee hour to welcome him.  Please be prepared to wear your nametags to assist him in getting to know us all.

Pastor Carl is a retired Methodist minister who resides in Limerock with his wife, Diann.  They have five grown children and are blessed with nine grandchildren.

Carl received his Master’s from Bangor Theological Seminary and his baccalaureate from the University of Maine.  He spent seven years in Maine and three years in Vermont prior to returning to Connecticut as the pastor of the Sharon United Methodist Church for 13 years.

He is currently in Bolivia representing the New York Annual Conference and will return to the states the beginning of July.
