Union Baptist Church is Building Spiritual and Relational Vitality Through:

Spiritual Activities

What's happening in East Killingly? The excitement continues to build as "new hope" is brought to this community through the missional arm of Union Baptist Church, New Hope Community Ministries. The changes began in the physical plant, transforming a seldom used space into a multi-use building. The spiritual truths remain steady and sure, but the purpose is now a 21st century expression of the ancient faith of Biblical Christianity. 

• 10am is a time of praise, worship and challenging messages calling all who attend to examine, upgrade, realign, or begin their personal faith walk. (Children's Sunday School also) 
• 7:00 PM - Bible study @ Pastor Steve's home 130 Pleasant View Dr. / Dayville - We will be studying the Gospel of John. 

Thursday  

• 6pm Music Ministry meets for practice. Anyone interested should see Pastor Steve.
• 7pm - Bible Study: A study of the Apostle Paul, his missionary journeys as recorded in Luke's Acts and an overview of the Pauline epistles. Everyone seeking to develop a firm foundation in faith and the teachings of the Bible are welcome. We "dig deeper" and encourage one another to "come in closer and climb higher" as members of the Body of Christ. We devote time to praying for each other, our loved ones, and our community.

Educational and Recreational Activities

Serving the children and youth of our community with structured programs

Camp Opportunity #718: a Day Camp for children ages 4-12. Established in July 2005, Camp "O" is rapidly becoming the choice of parents looking for a high quality, affordable day camp.

Summer Day Camp: Monday - Friday 8:30am-4:00pm; Extended Hours: 7-8:30am & 4-5:30pm. 

Camp includes: crafts, nature, learning centers to keep our academic skills honed, sports, music, swim, field trips to nature centers/parks. Children are divided into age units, with adult leaders experienced in working with children. It is an active day, with a lot of experiences and fun. Our senior staff is CPR & First Aid certified, and we are pleased that each year we are one of the few licensed camps in the state receiving a 100% compliance rating on our unannounced state inspections. These inspections cover the physical plant and other regular sites used, staff eligibility, program design and content, safety and health by CT Department of Youth Camping Inspectors and a pre-camp inspection by the CT Department of Health, Fire Marshall, DMV safety insepction of all camp vehicles, and water testing. (see Youth Programs page)

Thank you for your continued support

The members and volunteers of New Hope Community Ministries greatly appreciate those who have helped to build and sustain this work of God. Our ongoing efforts to bring hope to the people of the Quiet Corner, and to positively affect our community for Christ - with the love of God - is never ending. We are teaching people of all ages (preschool/camp, teens, adults) to work hard and make wise choices. In all of this, though, there is often a "need." If someone is hungry, cold, without medicine or clothing, it is difficult for them to talk about spiritual matters. If their children need better "opportunities" than what the public school system can offer, but they cannot afford a private school; if their children need day care during the summer months, or simply need the chance to discover the fun and learning "opportunities a camp offers," but they cannot afford it....? If the elderly are living on the edge, alone, afraid, needing transportation, good food, company, to hear the word of God in Bible studies, or simply the uplifting of their spirits with a good hymn sing...? The answers are all the same: God's people offering their "time, talent, and yes, treasure."

Jesus said, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." If you believe God "loves the little children / cares for widows and orphans / challenges us to care for and honor our parents / calls His people to feed the hungry, cloth the naked, etc....then won't you please consider supporting our efforts by:

• praying for us
• volunteering in one of our ministries
• committing to a monthly gift to underwrite the cost of our steps of faith?   

Businesses and individuals who may wish to assist with a donation of goods, services, time, or money should call Pastor Bill at 860-774-7709, or fill out our online form and we will be in touch with you.
