Waterford Congregational Church continues Worship Without Walls services, held monthly in the churchyard meditation garden. The next service in the series will be at 9:30 a.m. on Sunday, July 23, at 15 Plummer Hill Road in the village of Waterford, beside the Wilkins Community House.

“Joining in a space where there are no walls that separate us from the world, reminds us of our oneness with creation and with one another,” said the Rev. Doretta Colburn, according to a news release from Pam Williams with the church.

Aa nine-member brass ensemble will provide music. The group, composed of visiting friends and family of WCC organist George Wiese, includes trumpets, French horns, trombones, and a tuba.

“Music in the midst of nature can be a mystical experience,” said Wiese. “How spectacular that our ‘cathedral’ includes Keoka Lake and the surrounding mountains!”

Following the service, there will be an ice cream social hosted by the WCC Deacons. In the event of inclement weather, this service will be held inside the Wilkins Community House.

On July 30, Waterford Congregational Church will hold another special service, Weaving the Future. This service, held in the Wilkins Community House at 9:30 a.m., will provide a forum for contributing ideas about the future. As part of an overarching visioning project, WCC is endeavoring to chart its next steps of serving the community through the Service, Spirituality, and Music aspects of its mission. Members, friends, visitors, and the public are heartily welcomed to participate in the July 30 event.
