Upcoming Events
Sept 19
Rev Kev hosts a conversation to explore the hidden gifts and strengths that come with aging. Drawing on our own experiences we will claim our individual and collective wisdom, consider spiritual practices to celebrate the season, and reflect on ways we might share this wisdom with loved ones and others in our community.
All are welcome no matter your faith, spirituality, age, etc.
Bring a friend and make new ones!

Certified Fall Prevention experts will help us explore our risk of falling and explain why Fall Prevention is one of the most important things we can do to help us age well.
The session is sponsored by Senior Resources Agency on Aging, who kindly ask that participants complete a preregistration form to assist in their grant funding.

Some of our past events
“The pandemic increased isolation and stress among many in our community, young and old. We are beginning with monthly activities to build community and connect among older adults and plan to offer other events and activities to address the practical need for positive social connection, support and meaningful community for others in the community as well.” commented Rev. Dr. Kevin Downer, pastor.
The church has served as the Monday location for Community Kitchens of Northeast Connecticut for the past eight years, offering free hot meals every week. The meal program provides an important social outlet. This new program seeks to build upon this ministry by offering a variety of daytime social activities. It is hoped that the center will nurture relationships and connections between residents of Woodstock and the surrounding communities.
