Paul and Diane Vigneau are offering a fundraising opportunity to our community.  They have purchased the materials to build a 8' X 12' deck and rather than pay a contractor to erect it, they would like to hire YOU!  If you have some building experience and are willing to offer your expertise and labor, they are looking for you to work for them a couple of upcoming Saturdays.  In return, they will make a donation of $400 to the church in your name or the name of your choosing for up to 4 qualified individuals resulting in a total donation of $1,600.  If you are interested, please contact Paul or Diane at (508) 459-2643 or by email at gosoxinrutland@msn.com 

This month's 50/50 offering will be shared with Ride with Pride at Forge Works Farm in Rutland. 

Ride with Pride is a non-profit therapeutic riding program for special needs children and adults that strives to physically, cognitively and emotionally strengthen its clients through riding and developing relationships with horses.

This program offers clients with disabilities an opportunity to learn and appreciate a horse's movement through riding, communicating and caring for a horse. Therapeutic riding is a recreational activity that can improve overall strength, endurance, attention and function while having fun!

 Therapeutic riding can include mounted and non-mounted activities, and is provided at a pace appropriate to the level of the client. Therapeutic riding is maintained by a licensed instructor who is specially trained in therapeutic riding, as well monitored by a registered therapist.

Ted Mahan of Ride with Pride will join us for the service and coffee hour to present his wonderful program.
