Mama’s Moments is a monthly gathering for mothers and their children up to age 8 to get together to share life with others, play together, pray, and participate in community projects. It takes place on the first Saturday of the month and runs from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. at Valley Brook Community Church.
Here we are at the culmination of our five-part series. We started with Granby’s Congregational church life and added the Connecticut River Valley’s Great Awakening, plus the church’s harsh response. This awakening moved to the Southern colonies, resulting in yet harsher persecution by the Episcopal Church of Virginia. Madison and Jefferson were instrumental in the Virginia Declaration of Rights in 1776, but how did their religious freedom idea get to be the First Amendment to the Constitution in 1789, 13 years later?

Susan Regan, host of CT Valley Views recently spoke with Dr. Jane Anderson, a career pediatrician and board member of the American College of Pediatricians.
A hardy group of hikers braved single-digit temperatures on Martin Luther King Day to enjoy the beauty of the GLT’s Mary Edwards Mountain Property together.

Jan. 1 marks the halfway point in the FY25 budget. It’s time to look back at our projections and look forward to the end of the budget year. It is also time to present the Plus One FY26 Budget Forecast to project into the following year.
