Many have lost their friends, family, homes, and jobs. The Waterbury Church of Christ is putting together a relief fund for the Christian families in Haiti. Please assist in this situation by donating to this worthy cause. To quote Edmund Burke, "All it takes for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."

Update - January 27, 2010
                 After everything lost, the brethren in Haiti refused to give up or stop prasing God. Last Sunday they were able to meet in someone's home to worship God and thank him for his many blessings. My dad, Evands Pierre (minister of the Gospel in Haiti), said "Although the Church building is gone, the Church is still alive." Right now we are in the process of looking for a temporary rental property outside the Port-au-Prince area for the Church to worship. 
                Most survivors like my family are having to relocate outside of P-A-P. Many are still in the streets, and some are living under tents donated by the U.S government. As for my family, my mother was able to have the surgery done on her leg and my injured sister received the medical care she needed; they are doing better living under a tent now. Although the worse is behind them, the brethren in haiti still have a long way ahead of them. So, please we still need your prayers and support to help them rebuild their lives.
   - Psalm 46
 

Update - February 3, 2010
                Thanks to your generous donations, over 700 lbs of rice, 300 lbs of beans, several bottle of cooking oil, and tuna cans were purchased to distribute among the brethren this coming Friday. We've also managed to make a down payment on the rental property located a few miles east of P-A-P, but cannot move in until the full amount is paid and repairs made. It is our prayer that they will have a place to worship next week. So, on behalf of the Hatian brethren i want to express my gratitude for all the support we've been getting thus far. 
                Today, i was informed of 5 different families who lost their homes, and i pray that we will be able to help them get back on their feet Lord willing. One possibility is to make use of the Church building (when we get it) as a temporary shelter place if needed.
                This week the Waterbury Church is filling up a couple of barrels with toiletry items and clothes to ship down there next week, because those things are becoming more scarce and more expensive. The survivors in Haiti are fighting really hard to keep going, and your help is greatly appreciated to assist them in that regard. Please, we continue to ask for your prayers and support as we help them rebuild and recover from this tragedy. Praise be to our Lord and Savior Jesus-Christ.
 - Psalm 46

What is life without God?

The different life lessons that we learn during our childhood and teenage years help determine our future. It is my belief that every parent want to somehow help ensure the future of their children, because there will come a time when your children will have to go away making a life of their own. Parents need to shelter their children; young people need to be sheltered from the immorality of our society, the danger of our environment, and the diseases of this world. But, when the time comes for them to go away or move on, will you be able to say, "They are going to make it in life."

Welcome to the website of Waterbury Church of Christ

We hope that our home on the internet can be a resource for members of our body, area congregations, and for the Waterbury-area community.

It is also our hope that we can share some of the warmth, love, and compassion that Christ has shown for us with everyone to whom we come into contact.

We will sincerely appreciate your worshipping with us. We pray that the worship will bless and encourage you. We also hope that you will want to return. Perhaps you are not familiar with the worship in a congregation of the church of Christ.

*A Note on our Name: When we use the name "church of Christ" we are using it in the "generic" sense (see Romans 16:16). That is, we are simply a church that belongs to Christ!

Please don't confuse us with any denominations of similar name, like the International Church of Christ, Boston/Crossroads Movement (ICC / ICOC) or the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormons).
