Now until Sept. 7 School Supplies
We are collecting school supplies for the classes at Grayson Elementary. There is a blue collection box at the east (office) entrance on Monroe Ave. We hope to supply new 24-count Crayola crayons (the colors are richer), colored pencils, and markers (brand not so important, 10-12 count boxes) for each student.
Many stores are having Back-to-School sales with these items at great prices. Swing by and drop them off, and we will get them to the school! Let’s get these young people off to a great school year!
Sep 14 1:00-3:00 p.m. Blessing of the Animals
Have pets? We would love to have you bring them to our Blessing of the Animals event on Sunday, the 14th.
Stop by with dogs on leashes, cats in carriers, birds in cages, reptiles, small mammals in carriers. Your pets will receive a St. Francis medal for their collar and a certificate.
Service animals of all types are especially welcome. They will receive a special certificate recognizing their service and a St. Francis medal for their collar.
This is an open-house style event taking place rain or shine in the North Parking Lot of the church, next to the Celebration Garden (along Sashabaw Road). Pet doesn’t travel well/easily? Bring a picture!
Monarch Butterfly Purchase & Release
August 24, 2025, saw our release of nearly 100 monarch butterflies, a project that has been going on for a decade.
The plan for 2026 is to again have people purchase butterflies in June and then have the release in August. To get on the list for 2026 information, email Susan at <office.cpcwaterford@gmail.com>.

More Information:
Bible Studies: For July and August, the discussions have been about "Different Women of the Bible." Women are often mentioned in the Bible, but little is typically said about them and their backgrounds. Some were powerful and notorious. Bring a Bible or borrow one from us. There is no cost.
Prayer Shawl Ministry: The group makes shawls, which are given to people needing special prayers and comfort. Are you just learning to knit or crochet? We have materials and plenty of help. There is no cost.
Jewelry-making Class: These free classes are led by Jenny Sansom, author of Healing with Gemstones (2023). Make your own jewelry and take it home, with the only cost being for your supplies. For example, earring supplies for $3 or a simple bracelet for under $10. It's a fun learning experience with a group of friendly people.
Garden Work Bee: Help sustain our Monarch Butterfly Waystation garden--help the butterflies and other pollinators. Learn about the plants, and share in some of the extra plants when we do thinning. Bring your favorite digging and trimming tools (and we have extras), and have fun playing in the dirt!
Adult Choir: Come sing with us! The adult "Chancel" choir helps lead the congregation for hymns and responses, and we typically have a special anthem each Sunday from September into June. Besides our Wednesday evening rehearsal, we meet at 9:40 a.m. on Sunday to warm up and review our music. Directed by Eric Johnson, an accomplished pianist and certified Colleague of the American Guild of Organists (CAGO), we do a variety of music to support the church season and the day's message. Join us any time throughout the year!
Handbell Choir: Do you want to expand your handbell experience or maybe give it a try? We have a large set of bells and can easily welcome more ringers! The handbell choir is led by Eric Johnson, Director of Music, and plays regularly, about once a month.
