 Current Services ~ Rowe Funeral Home
The First Congregational Church of Litchfield has just announced that it will offer the use of most of its rooms for use by outside groups starting in March 2019. This would include not only meeting rooms, but the Fellowship Hall that has a complete kitchen attached. Rooms vary in size that would be appropriate for smaller, more intimate meetings or counseling, to rooms that would hold up to 50 people. The buildings are ADA accessible. Ample parking is available. The church, which will celebrate its 300th anniversary in 2 years, is responding to the many requests that have been made in the past due to the lack of such facilities here in Litchfield. If interested, please call the church office at 860-567-8705 or email at office@fcclitchfield.com.

Or, for $10, shoppers can fill a box with as many books as will fit and it’s OK if they stick out the top. A special promotion is available to area teachers to help them stock their classrooms.

The Food Pantry at St. Michael’s
needs your donations
The Food Pantry at St. Michael’s is a success: since starting this spring, an increasing number of our neighbors come to the Community House the third Saturday of each month. From 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., we distribute much-needed canned and packaged food, fresh bread, eggs and vegetables, and frozen meals. In October our neighbors took away over 1200 lbs. of food.
 The good news is that the racks are empty. The bad news is that the racks are empty. People needed all the food we had. The Food Pantry is appealing to you to help fill the shelves each month. The Pantry needs your support to supply our community’s needs.
The pantry needs: peanut butter, jelly, cereal, oats, rice, tuna, pasta sauce, canned vegetables and fruit, soup, lentils, beans, granola bars, powered drink mix, pasta, juice, condiments, frozen vegetables, chicken, hamburger patties, coffee and tea, dish and clothes detergent, toilet paper and paper towels
We invite you to help provide our neighbors with the food they need. You can donate food, you can donate cash, and you can donate time. You can help with purchasing, collecting and delivering food, stocking the shelves, or assisting on the third Saturday of each month. The church is always open, and you can drop off donations any time in the north pews.
You can contact St. Michael’s at 860-567-9465, office@stmichaels-litchfield.org, and mail checks made out to St. Michael’s, with “Food Pantry” on the memo line, to PO Box 248, Litchfield, CT 06759. St. Michael's - BZ page
