Earth Day Celebration - UCC Article

Not only was DRCC's Earth Day spectacular on April 21, but it was featured in the United Church of Christ conference news section! Click here to read about "Deep River's Good "Green" Shepherds"! We were fortunate to have Drew Page from the UCC visit our church for this celebration, where he featured our church in an article.

We thank everyone who is taking part in the Mission 4/1 Earth program of 1 million hours in 50 days.

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.

May Glory
Glory be to you, O Lord,
for this arisen-ness of May:
For the golden joy of a million dandelions
falling like sunlight on awakening fields;
For the flame of azaleas
and the confetti of apple blossoms
celebrating this most amazing life;
For the wild anthems of birds at sunrise
and the noonday hum of bees;
For the first tendrils of garden peas
and the hopefulness of lettuce
waiting for what is yet to come;
For rain, soft upon the land,
and air, sweet, tender, alive;
For children rejoicing in long grass,
rising into tempting treetops,
racing around bases
as if they could make world itself turn
by sheer exuberance;
For these we give you thanks, O God.
Let it be that in our gratitude
we may know your presence,
and that in your presence
we may find our peace.
Amen.
--Timothy Haut, May, 2013
