Spring All-Church Meeting – April 28

Come down after our service on the 28^th for a spring check-in of all the goings-on in our active little church.  Grab a cup of coffee and a snack and hear from Pastor Caryne, brief committee reports, and goals and plans for the spring and summer.  Let’s celebrate having made it through a strange winter and the solar eclipse and gather for a “compact” church family meeting.

Join the Vermont Poor People’s Campaign, along with 30+ other states across the country, in holding simultaneous days of action at our state houses, Saturday, March 2nd, 2024, to call on our state and federal governments to address the interlocking injustices of poverty, racism, the war economy, ecological devastation, the denial of access to healthcare, and the distorted moral narrative of christian nationalism.  In order to address any one of these issues, we must address them all, and we must be united in our collective call for justice.  We will meet at the Montpelier Transit Center at 10am, march a short distance to the steps of the Statehouse for a rally at 11am: the Mass Poor People’s and Low-wage Workers’ State House Assembly and To the Polls. 

Happy holidays to all of our Weybridge neighbors and beyond! 

Everyone is invited to join the Weybridge Church and First Congregational Church of Cornwall for a Christmas Eve worship service at Weybridge Church followed by refreshments and fellowship. 

Our lessons-and-carols style service will begin at 5pm in the Sanctuary at Weybridge Church, and you are welcome to join us in the pews or on Zoom. Email weybridgechurch@gmail.com for the Zoom info. 

We have activity packs for kids so that they can join worship at their own pace, and there will also be a separate space available for anyone to take a break (we just ask that kids bring a grown-up with them). 

Gather with us to celebrate the radical God-with-us good news of the Christmas story, and bring it into our own lives and communities.

Fall Greetings!

It’s CROP Walk time again, Sunday, October 1! This means it’s time to revisit the important work of Church World Services and how we can join them to make a difference.

Ukraine, Morocco and Libya are a far cry from Weybridge, Vermont.  And the space between us is much more than the actual distance.  The challenges and hardships are difficult to accurately imagine and certainly to relate to. So we ask, what can we do?

Fortunately, our friends and allies at Church World Services are doing the hard, grassroots, action-oriented work to make a difference.  As an example, CWS is one of the leading refugee resettlement agencies responsible for Afghans settling in the U.S. And, as we see photos of the deadly floods in Libya and the earthquake in Morocco, one word comes to mind: loss. Thousands of lives, entire communities and the livelihoods of millions have been lost to the forces of nature and the evils of man.  CWS has hundreds of workers on the frontlines of disasters, many of which have been significantly intensified because of climate change. 

The CROP Hunger Walk is more than just a yearly gathering or event for us. It is our chance to help families who are struggling with hunger and concerned about where they’ll find their next meal. The Addison County Walk is how we take action to make sure that one more person has enough to eat.  And, alongside this far reaching support, one-quarter of the funds raised by our CROP Hunger Walk will be directed to these local organizations: Friday Night Community Supper, Vergennes Community Food Shelf, HOPE Have a Heart Food Shelf, John Graham Emergency Shelter, and The Giving Fridge.

We want to help as many people as we can and would love your support. Please join us in the fight against hunger by making a donation! The steps we take – and the funds we raise – support programs that provide meals in our community and long lasting solutions to hunger around the world.
