Copper Hill Church thanks East Granby Firefighters
Copper Hill Church Thanks East Granby Firefighters As a way of saying “thank you,” Copper Hill UMC hosted their annual dinner for forty members of the East Granby Fire Department.

January sermon series focuses on the Bible itself

More Congratulations for Sarah-Jean Oliver
The honor was given last summer, but I just ran across this Hartford Courant article about the honor that Copper Hill UMC member Sarah-Jean Oliver received in her work as a teacher.

More on Caroline (Carolyn) Kimberley
I visited with the family of Caroline Kimberley today. First, we reminisced about Caroline’s faithful organ playing, a great gift in itself to her church.
