Ways to Volunteer & Help Our Community:

On Feb 28 Rev. Ed Townley guided us in looking at the 7 areas of ministry in our church, where to grow them, and the support they require.  Our visioning helped set the direction for the future of Unity of Greater Hartford. 
........AND THEN ON   

Sunday, March 7 we held a Volunteer Team Fair, so that each of the many teams that are such an essential part of our energy had an opporunity to celebrate who they are, define their specific goals for the year, and enlist new members to join and participate.  This fair was not only highly successful but also a lot of fun....So be prepared for some high-energy Sundays in every week to come.

Welcome & Care Team 

  F O O D   P A N T R Y 

Members of Unity Church generously donated items for care packages to send to Shannon Dep-tula Serrano's husband (and little Aidan’s dad)Armando. He is currently serving 1 year in Af-ghanistan with the 16th Military Police Brigade.

Twenty-five boxes were packed with games, sports equipment, DVDs, snacks, power bars, powdered sport drinks, candy, razors, deodorant, toothpaste and toothbrushes, body wash and many other items. Our Youth Ministry made Christmas decorations to include in the packages.

Terrie and John Waitt brought the boxes to Andi Grant, founder of Give2TheTroops®. She gener-ously covered most of the shipping expense, pro-vided larger boxes, and added many Christmas items to Armando's packages. Please look at Andi's website at www.Give2TheTroops.org and help support her efforts to spread love through these wonderful care packages.
