What We Do - Waterbury Congregational Church

http://www.waterburyucc.com/what-we-do.html

For many church members, working with each other on projects connects us to both the church and our wider community. Beyond the hour of worship, congregants work together in a variety of ways. Because the congregation actually runs the church, there is a certain amount of administration to do – from overseeing the building to budgeting to preparing for worship. We organize special events - special worship services, celebratory events and fundraisers.

Belief in God is really what brings us all here. We don’t expect one another to think the same thing when we say the word “God,” but we do believe God is something which is bigger, which is mysterious/magical and which is universal, and we believe that without this idea of God, life is much less meaningful. We also come together to learn from the example of Jesus. We believe that God is " still speaking. We come together to hear God whisper in our hearts.
