Please join us for a special coffee hour reception after worship on Sunday, June 23, to celebrate and honor our beloved office manager Gayle Logan, who will be retiring June 30th.

OFFICE MANAGER TRANSITIONS
I am thrilled to report that Karen Swann will be our new office manager after Gayle Logan’s retirement. Karen started training with Gayle June 18th. She will need to take a few days off in late June for prior family commitments, including her mother’s 90th birthday and a bridal shower. Karen lives in Hamden, is active in her Unitarian church, and has a daughter in college and a son finishing his junior year at Hamden High. I hope that you will all welcome Karen with open arms and your full support. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

HYMN SING ON SUNDAY, JUNE 23RD

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.
