The Perkinsville Community Church will not be holding services in Perkinsville during the summer months, as we will be joining with the Weathersfield Center Church for Sunday morning services at 10 a.m. We'll be back with regular services starting at 10 am on September 12 (the Sunday after Labor Day).
Will Hunter will be preaching for 6 of the 12 Sundays we will be at the Center, and a variety of others will lead services the other weeks.
On Sunday, July 4, Edith Hunter will talk about Thomas Jefferson's Bible. The nation's third President believed that the ethical system of Jesus was the finest the world had ever seen. In compiling what has come to be called "The Jefferson Bible," he sought to separate those ethical teachings from the religious dogma and other supernatural elements that are intermixed in the account provided by the four Gospels. He presented these teachings, along with the essential events of the life of Jesus, in one continuous narrative.
Other Sunday services this summer will be conducted by the Rev. Connie Moser (August 1), the Rev. William Nelson (August 8), and a musical quartet led by Susan Hunter and Hallie Whitcomb (September 5).
A social hour follows each service in the downstairs meeting room.

Thursday, July 22nd at 7:00 p.m.
