Finding Our Church

The Deep River Congregational Church is located at 1 Church Street, Deep River, Connecticut. The church is two blocks south of the Main Street stoplight in the center of town just across from the post office. We are just a few minutes from both Exit 4 and Exit 5 off Connecticut Route 9.

From the North:

Take Route 9 South to Exit 5.  At the bottom of the exit ramp, turn left toward the center of Deep River.  At the four way stop (Fire Station is on your right), turn right onto Union Street.  Proceed about 2 blocks and you will find the church and parking lot on your left.

From the South:

Take Route 9 North to Exit 4.  At the bottom of the exit ramp (stop light) turn left toward Deep River center.  Continue on Middlesex Turnpike (Main Street) through the next traffic light.  The church will be just ahead on your left.  You may park on Church Street or in the parking lot in the rear.

The Hardest Thing

Love,
this letting go,
is the hardest thing.
We fling our precious ones
out and away,
watch them swirl in the wind
like seeds
scattered in the fields,
and wish them to grow.
There will be winter,
storms, drought,
and in the moonlight
something will change.
They will change.
Love is the courage
to watch and wait,
to trust in the rain and sun
to be good and gentle,
to believe in what we cannot see--
this force that surges through us,
this thing that takes our breath away
and gives life back,
this most holy, holy gift,
so good it hurts,
this
Love.

--Timothy Haut, Mother's Day, 2012
