Years ago a friend of Chapin’s started sending his daily scriptural meditations to people under the heading “Daily Meds” — a playful way of suggesting that a regular dose of scripture, meditation, and prayer can heal all kinds of ills.
As we enter a season when there is global concern about our health and well being, Chapin has decided to launch an audio podcast to share these biblical reflections with our community. We encourage you to take these daily meds…and feel free to dispense them to others.

Join Nathaniel Philbrick for an evening of conversation and discussion on our all church read The Mayflower and Pilgrims’ New World. Come with questions or just come to listen and enjoy!
After a dangerous journey across the Atlantic, the Mayflower’s passengers were saved from certain destruction with the help of the Natives of the Plymouth region. For fifty years a fragile peace was maintained as Pilgrims and Native Americans learned to work together. But when that trust was broken by the next generation of leaders, a conflict erupted that nearly wiped out Pilgrims and Natives alike. Adapted from the New York Times bestseller Mayflower, this edition includes additional maps, artwork, and archival photos.

Submissions for the March newsletter are due February 18th. Please contact Laurel Carr, laurel@godsacredev.wpengine.com.
You are warmly invited to join Fatou Niang and Mike Rodgers in conversation with fellow congregants in reading Ibram X. Kendi’s memoir, How to Be an Antiracist, for 5 weeks beginning Wednesday, February 24 at 7:00pm.
Knowing we are all made in God’s image and called to be one people, it is in the spirit of hope that we seek not only an understanding of racism and its causes, but to be part of the formation of a just and equitable church and society.
What better way to mark the Lenten season than to reflect with one another on the injustice of racism and envision together a more Godly way.
Books are available to be ordered at Elm Street Books online. Contact Marianna Kilbride, marianna@godsacredev.wpengine.com for a Zoom invite.
We welcome to the pulpit Chapin’s friend, author, scholar, Dr. Josef Sorett, Professor and Chair, Department of Religion; Professor, Department of African American and African Diaspora Studies, at Columbia University. Tenor Antonio Abate and Solo Bell Ringer Thomas Lezon are the featured musicians.
To contribute, please enter the circle in front of the church, drive up, pop your trunk and volunteers will remove your donation.
All non-perishable food items are welcome, however, the biggest needs right now are:
As we start the new year, we have the opportunity to support our Pivot friends by providing meals for them. New Canaan cooks are a favorite of the men and restaurant meals or contributions are also greatly appreciated as they continue to deal with fewer food donations due to the pandemic.
