“Funny you should ask” answered Ron LaPointe when Jackie Henderson asked for just an overview of our invested fund. Little did she know he had a presentation all ready. The Annual Meeting is a good chance for everyone to learn about the details that keep our church alive and well. Thank you everyone who participated. For more pictures CLICK HERE

A “Sock Hop” was held on April 28th at the Wesley Untied Methodist Church in Worceter to benefit the Worcester Fellowship mission. The “Sock Hop” has a fun connection to the ministry of Worcester Fellowship, which gives away 60 – 100 pairs of socks every week. Leicester FCC helps support this ministry with lunches, donations and attendance at this Sock Hop. A “rocking” time was had by all.
On April 1st we were blessed with a special Easter Cantata performed by the Christian Community Choir. The Choir is composed of singers from 10 churches and number 50 plus voices. The Choir is under the direction of Mrs. Linda Cross of the East Brookfield Baptist Church.
The program was called EYES OF FAITH, Seeing and Believing the Messiah. Spiritually we look
ed through the eyes of these followers of Jesus (Simeon, Judas, Mary Magdalene and Peter) their insights, feelings and emotion. We see how their lives were affected and changed by Jesus, and realize that Jesus is still affecting and changing lives today as we look through “eyes of faith”.
Refreshments were served after the performance. Everyone was talking about how moved they were by the music and the words. It was a great event.

The Bunny Day Eggstravaganza was another huge success this year. More than 100 children showed up to join in crafts, meet the Easter Bunny and hunt for eggs. Thank you to everyone who worked so hard to put on this extraordinary eggstravaganza.
