Who Are We? Our congregation numbers about 100 members from Deering, Weare and surrounding towns. We are diverse in age, political persuasion, and religious background. Many were raised outside the United Church of Christ and joined us from Catholic, Lutheran, Episcopal, and also unchurched backgrounds. We revel in this diversity and hope that eventually we might have more of a mixture of races, ethnicities, classes and sexual orientations. We pride ourselves on our support of a wide spectrum of beliefs and practices and think pluralism is not only the best moral course, but also expands our horizons and greatly enriches our lives. Many of us are eager. A large number of our members want to work together to make our church a more significant presence in the community as well as encouraging community groups to use our building. We hope our church can serve as a quiet haven in a tumultuous and often painful world. Recently we have been blessed to have many more children in our midst. We delight in their candid and insightful remarks during the children’s sermon. We are committed to an expanding and exciting Sunday school. We are a physically accessible church and very much welcome people of different strengths and abilities. We look forward to sharing our leadership with newcomers, yet if you prefer just to participate in Sunday worship, you are welcomed to do that also. We are a warm and friendly church, very much wanting to connect to God and each other. You can find here a Brief History of the Deering Church, written by Don Johnson |
