Oh, let the harps break forth in sound! Our joy be all with music crowned, Our voices gaily blending! For Christ goes with us all the way-- Today, tomorrow, every day! His love is never ending! Sing out! Ring out! Jubilation! Exaltation! Tell the story! Great is he, the King of glory! --Hymn, "O Morning Star, How Fair and Bright"

It is the New Year: 2015! We are left with the memories of 2014, for better or worse, and face this New Year with all its possibilities and perils. How do we go forward into 2015? The hymn above reminds us that Jesus Christ goes with us "all the way". All the way where? All the way through our own joys and accomplishments, Christ will go with us. All the way through our sins and heartaches and griefs and disappointments, Christ will go with us. To the end of this year, to the end of our lives, to the end of the world, Christ will go with us. "For Christ goes with us all the way--Today, tomorrow, every day, his love is never ending." All things end, but his love never ends. This new year will end, but his love will not. All we busily do will one day end, but his love for us never ends. I invite you to begin your New Year with a foundation that will never end--the love of God in Jesus Christ for you. Join us this January for our Epiphany worship services--Sundays at 10:15--and for the many other opportunities for fellowship, service, and education found within this Window. For Christ goes with us all the way--Today, tomorrow, every day, his love is never ending. Happy New Year! Pastor Mills+

Thank you, thank you, thank you are two words I have heard over and over again as I have delivered our Christmas‐at‐Sea satchels to ships that have arrived in our New Haven and New London ports. I 

want to add my thank you to you. Without your help and generosity none   of this would be possible. I wish you could see the smiles and feel the excitement when these gifts are brought on board. These gifts tell the seafarers that they are not forgotten and that their work is valued. We recognize that 90% of all we have in this country is brought to us by a ship by the men and women who sail her. Many of the ships leaving here were going to be crossing the stormy Atlantic during Christmas and New Year, out of contact with family and friends during the holidays. These seafarers make such sacrifices to bring us all the things we enjoy and take for granted.  And so I thank you again and again and again and the seafarers thank you again and again and again for your continued love and support. I also want to thank Ute for the dozens and dozens of cookies she has made and packaged in holiday containers. The word spreads that there are treats on board and they all come running just like little kids in the proverbial cookie jar!  Wishing you all the joys and blessings of the New Year!  Ruth Setaro, Chaplain

If you like to help a child in need please consider

becoming a (monthly) donor.

Automated donations help tremendously in lifting

kids out of poverty.

$100 will cover a child for a month; $40 will feed our

boys for a week.

Thank you.

 

Simon’s House – A Place for Dalit Children Bringing Hope to People in India.

#6 We added a new boy, Vamsi, to Simon’s House. Hopefully Vamsi will start school in March of 2015, when the new school

year begins. Until then he will be attending private coaching that will prepare him for school.

When Vamsi was three months old he was abandoned by his parents. A family from a village rescued him. And took

good care of him. A year ago the “father” of Vamsi partially lost his eye sight, which put him out of work. No work, no

money to support a family (no work insurance of course). The father could not afford to send his son to school or even

provide food.

However: he reached out and asked for help. Somebody knew about Simon’s House – and the rest is history. Vamsi has

a new “father” and a new “mother” and believe it or not – 5 new “brothers”.

Welcome Vamsi!

Holiday is a time of giving – life giving.

Come and join us.
