Events & Activities
Holy Hilarity Sunday
Sometimes we just need to laugh. Let's bring some lightness to the service with some sacred silliness. Come with a funny church story, joke or song to share!
Contact Pastor Michelle if you have something special you'd like to share. Ring Out Love

Open & Affirming Group
The United Church of Ludlow's Open and Affirming (ONA) group plans a busy late summer and fall as we continue our journey toward a vote at the Annual Meeting in January 2025. Members have started sharing Mission Minutes in which they talk about their connection to the LGBTQ+ community and why being an Open and Affirming Congregation is important to them.
Watch the Aug. 25 Mission Minute here. If you have something you would like to share, contact Pastor Michelle!
We will be also holding small-group dinners, Bible Study and Learning sessions, and other opportunities to examine how to live our mission and truly extend the hand of welcome to all persons. Learn more about ONA, the United Church of Christ’s (UCC) designation for congregations, campus ministries, and other bodies in the UCC which make a public covenant of welcome into their full life and ministry to persons of all sexual orientations, gender identities, and gender expressions. Wall Hanging Dedication
Pastor Michelle Fountain on May 19 dedicated a new quilted wall hanging created by Pam Hardiman to mark the anniversary of Linda Thomson's life-changing ski crash.

Wild Church & Annual Picnic
Wild Church and the Annual Picnic of the United Church of Ludlow was a wonderful event. We dug our toes into the sand, waded in the cool water, gazed at bees and trees and leaves, sang songs and shared our reflections about the natural world. Then, of course, we ate!
Many thanks to George and Linda Thomson for hosting this wonderful annual event. Enjoy photos. Pastor Michelle Graduates
We're delighted to share that Pastor Michelle Fountain recently finished her Pastoral Preparation Program after a four-year journey. On June 9 she officially received her graduation certificate with her classmates as a part of the Southwest Association Meeting at the Castleton Federated Church. We at the United Church of Ludlow appreciate all the dedication and hard work that went into this achievement, Michelle. We will celebrate you at Wild Church on July 21!
