Ministry Description |
The United Church of Bernardston (UCB) traces its founding directly to colonial times. Located in the historic and picturesque Pioneer Valley of western Massachusetts, we are a combined United Church of Christ and United Methodist congregation that welcomes anyone of any denomination who seeks to worship with us and grow in the teachings of Jesus Christ. We are an Open and A rming/Reconciling Ministry church in a close-knit community where people know and care about their neighbors. We are known for our “Rainbow Doors” which are a visible sign that our doors are open and welcoming to all. Our Fellowship Hall is the meeting place for many church and community activities such as our “Second Saturday Roast Beef Suppers”, monthly Kiwanis Chicken Pot Pie Suppers, local Brownie & Girl Scout meetings and various community fund-raising events. Each Memorial Day weekend, we organize and host the “Bernardston Gas Engine Show & Flea Market”, an event for collectors and admirers of antique tractors and engines as well as a huge ea market of crafts and collectibles, which attracts thousands of visitors to town and is a major fundraiser for UCB as well as many other businesses. The pandemic certainly challenged us, but despite some membership losses we coped with technology and we nd ourselves post-Covid building back our membership and expanding the use of that technology. We are delighted to have welcomed many new members, including young families with children, which will help rebuild our Sunday School. Our new members have brought fresh ideas and a strong willingness to contribute. We seek a pastor who is open-minded, committed and an enthusiastic partner in working on community projects and outreach efforts recognizing the enjoyment that can be the result of fellowship and service, who shares our Christian traditions, can partner with us to strengthen our congregation and its worship, and with us discern God's roles for our faith in the world |
