Welcome!

Welcome to the Bolton Congregational Church UCC! If you are visiting our website to know more about our congregation, please read on – there’s lots of information about our staff, our ministries of outreach and service, and our programs for people of all ages and interests. If you are already a beloved member of our congregation – please read on, too! We try to keep up-to-date with our full schedule of Church activities and services – so that you can always know what’s coming. In either case, if there is something you would like to know that you can’t find here – you can always try the “old fashioned” method and call the Church Office (860-649-7077) any weekday morning and receive answers to questions that might not be available here. Our Church is located at 228 Bolton Center Road in Bolton, Connecticut.

New Items Added to Church Store. Our Church Store has moved to a new location. You will no longer find us in Chandler Hall. We now have the large preschool classroom located on your right as you enter the Education Building. We have a large bay window facing the street where we can display some of our furniture, quilts, etc. Our Church Store features beautiful items for sale, such as jewelry, books, glassware, wonderful collector's plates, and other decorative, collectible, handcrafted and vintage items. For the holidays, we've added new ornaments and new Dept. 56 pieces. Click here to visit our Church Store online.

Can You Help? Our Church Store is now looking for just how much interest there is within our church membership to volunteer two or three hours a week/month to help us “man” the Store and help out so that we can “open our doors” to the public. If you have an interest, please seriously think about what time you may have and either speak to Lynn Ralston and/or fill out our sign-up sheet in Chandler Hall. If some of you would have time to volunteer during evening hours, we would possibly be able to open one or two evenings during the week.  If there are enough of us, we will then decide which days or evenings would be the best and begin to advertise our hours.

Welcome Packet Is Available. Our church has a welcome packet available to those new to our church who would like more information about us. The packet provides a wealth of information about worship services, educational opportunities, beliefs, outreach, and much more. If you are new to our church or are considering joining us, you can pick up a packet at church or call the church office at 860-649-7077 to have one mailed to you.

"Pause" Music CD. Our own pastor, Chuck Ericson, has created a music CD entitled "Pause."  "Pause" is a collection of 13 favorite songs Chuck wrote for our Church's annual Christmas Eve services. This CD has been professionally produced by church member Lenny Bosh at his studio in Coventry, Conn., and features the familiar vocal talents of Jon Greene and Melanie Brazdzionis, as well as Lenny Bosh and several other professional musicians. The CD is available for $10 (checks should be made out to the Bolton Congregational Church), with 100% of the proceeds going to support our church's ministries. You can get the CD through our Church office, open weekday mornings, or after Sunday services. Read more about this CD on www.ericsongs.net.
