This year’s gathering coincides with the return of Rev. Ed Sunday-Winters, who resumes his ministry after a three-month sabbatical. Members, friends, former congregants and anyone with a connection to the church are encouraged to attend as the community marks this new season of ministry together.

Founded in the early 1800s, the Greensboro UCC has been a long-standing part of the Northeast Kingdom’s religious and civic life. Its white-steepled sanctuary has hosted generations of baptisms, weddings, memorials and community events. The congregation is part of the United Church of Christ, a Protestant denomination known for its emphasis on inclusion and social justice.

To help organizers plan for the barbecue lunch, attendees are asked to RSVP by calling the church office at (802) 533-2223 or emailing [email protected].
