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 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.
Sunday morning (10am) is a time of praise, worship and challenging messages calling all who attend to examine, upgrade, realign, or begin their personal faith walk.
Sunday morning following worship the Music Ministry will meet for practice. Any one interested in joining should see Shannon or Paster Steve
Sunday evening (6pm) there is a brief time of worship and then we delve into Bible study and discussion. Bring your questions of faith. Bring your Bible and be prepared to learn how to apply God's Word (the Bible) to your everyday life.
Tuesday evening (7pm) Study the Book of Romans: a time for us to come and "discuss," or as God said: "let us reason together." We dig deeper, and encourage one another to "come in closer and climb higher" as members of the Body of Christ, and to pray 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: a licensed 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)
HIKING & BIKING FOR HEALTH - led by Pastor Steve Poudrette 860-779-2355 or NHCM 860-774-7709
This is all about the whole person. Pastor Steve leads groups (ages 10+) on hikes and rides through state forests. These vary in length and time according to the ability of the group. In all cases, they are about appreciating God's creation, learning and caring about conservation & the environment. They are also about caring for the temple of the Holy Spirit, that is: our bodies. Pastor Steve is an experienced hiker, and bicyclist with CPR & First Aid certification.
