Attention All Jammin' for Jesus Musicians!
Tuesday, July 8th • 2:00pm
It's almost time for our end-of-year party!
On Tuesday, we will be playing games and eating pizza and ice cream sundaes to celebrate all of your hard work and good music-making this year. If you have a favorite board game, or something for show-and-tell, bring it along.
Also, our games might involve water balloons, so dress accordingly!

Dinner at the Rectory Copy
Wednesday, July 9th • 5:30pm
You are invited to the Rectory for a home-cooked meal and some conversation about this thing we call the Christian life. In the very beginning of the Christian movement a meal at a believer’s house was what we now call going to church. Let’s see if we can recreate this early Christian magic again!
Please RSVP online or directly to Rev Tricia: rev.tricia9@gmail.com or 203-314-7936 (Please reply by July 7th so I make sure to make enough food).

Karaoke Night
Friday, July 11th • 7:00pm
A challenge is out for all our Karaoke night attendees...bring a friend! Last time one of our regulars brought a friend and who knew those two would end up being Justin's backup dancers as well as amazing singers themselves! Are you intrigued? Then don't miss the fun!! Singing NOT required. Having fun is!
Snacks and beverages will be provided. Please bring along a good will offering or a tip for the tip jar, all items and money collected go towards the Blessing Pantry.

LGBTQ+ Allies Film Festival
Friday, July 18th • 6:00pm
Our film festival has developed such a nice following! This month we will be previewing Paris Is Burning.
"Paris Is Burning is a 1990 American documentary film directed by Jennie Livingston. Filmed in the mid-to-late 1980s, it chronicles the ball culture of New York City and the African-American, Latino, gay, and transgender communities involved in it. Critics consider the film to be an invaluable documentary of the end of the 'Golden Age' of New York City drag balls." -wikipedia
Join us, as usual, in our media room in very comfy chairs with snacks and pizza. Who’s invited? Everyone, so bring a friend!
