We are a congregation firmly committed to the Gospel of Jesus Christ, but instead of insisting on any single interpretation we invite each other to share his or her own faith and spirituality so that the whole body may be nurtured mutually.

We are an Open and Affirming congregation welcoming persons of any age, race, sexual orientation, nationality, economic circumstance, or physical or mental ability.  "God accepts all the people...so do we."

Worship Services begin at 10 a.m. Holy Communion is celebrated on the 1st Sunday of every month. Children begin the morning in the sanctuary with their families and after the Children's Message they go with their teachers to Sunday School. Infant/toddler care provided every week.

OKLAHOMA TORNADO TRAGEDY

Unfortunately due to Benevolence’s tight budget this year it would be difficult for them to respond with a donation at this time; however Benevolence can send along donations received through the church for those members who would prefer not to send checks directly.  Checks can be made payable to Spring Glen Church with CWS – Oklahoma in the memo line and they will then send the donations all together in one check.  You could also go to the UCC website at www.ctucc.org if you would prefer to donate directly.


SINGING FOR A CAUSE: MOZART’S REQUIEM AT BETHESDA LUTHERAN CHURCH

The Bethesda Music Series invites the Greater New Haven community to a performance of Mozart’s sublime Requiem (completed by R. Levin) and other choral and instrumental music on Sunday, June 2, at 4pm. The hour-long program will take place at Bethesda LutheranChurch, 450 Whitney Avenue, New Haven. The Bethesda Choir will be joined by the choir of First Presbyterian Church, New Haven, as well as by soloists and orchestra, under the direction of Lars Gjerde and Patrick McCreless. We promise an afternoon of inspiring and beautiful music making!  Mozart died before completing his Requiem. Mozart scholar and performer Robert Levin recently made a rarely heard completion of the work. Join us for a special treat! The event is free and open to the public. A free-will offering will be collected to support the next season of the Bethesda Music Series, recently featured in a national church magazine for its efforts to raise funds for New Haven charities through five annual concerts (see “Singing for a Cause” in The Lutheran Magazine, December 2012). A reception will follow the concert.
