Serata di canto
Beginning January 25th, feel free to join us for a night of worship and song. This will be a relaxed, ambient, and reverent hour of praise. We’ll be introducing new songs, singing old songs, and providing an atmosphere where one can get away from the stress of everyday life… and WORSHIP. The tentative time for this night is the last Friday of each month, starting in January.
Please feel free to contact our music director, Sam Ritter, at sam.ritter@my.uu.edu should you have any questions.

2012 collection for refugees + Food distribution
Throughout the cold winter months our church will be collecting items for two different groups in Rome.
We are collecting non-perishable food items for a food distribution ministry in the Centocelle area of Rome. We are one of about 4 evangelical churches working together to help people in need during these difficult economic times.
If you want to make a donation, please bring your items and put them in the plastic bin at the back of the sanctuary.
We also collecting men’s dark colored socks and scarves for refugees in Rome. There is another bin at the back of the sanctuary for these items.
Please bring only these 2 items for the collection. (We do NOT have room to collect, store and distribute clothing)
Thank you in advance for your generous assistance.
Pray for the food distribution and the refugee ministries in Rome.
