UCC of Canton Welcomes New Members

The community of the welcomed three, new adult members to the congregation on Sunday, January 15.

The three members are Mindy Milman, Nadia Bernard and Jonathan Bazile. As is customary, during the Service of Welcome, they were formally introduced by their sponsors Gloria Strandskov (Nadia and Jonathan's) and Carl Lindquist (Mindy's.) All of the new members had been attending services, and joined the church choir prior to becoming members.

Though most members of the UCC join the church as teenagers as part of their Confirmation, the UCC ministry welcomes adults to join on an ongoing basis. Most new members have attended the church for some time before they take the step to join.

While formally joining is not necessary to participate in the services and activities of the church, the act of joining shows the deeper level of commitment from the member to the well being of the church. As a member they are welcome to fully participate in Church governance and decision making.

UCC in Canton welcomes all people to join us for Worship on Sundays at 10:00 a.m. Folks can call the church office at 781-828-2131 for more information. The United Church of Christ is based in part in Congregational traditions of our Puritan and Pilgrim forebears. For more information about the United Church of Christ visit www.ucc.org. The UCC in Canton is located at 1541 Washington Street, Canton.
