Windsor Community Dinners
OSC hosts the dinner on February 19th at 5:00pm.
Dinners are held Wednesdays at 5:00pm, September through mid-June
American Legion, Windsor, VT
If you're interested in helping serve, clean up, or bring a dish, please contact Mary McNaughton or the church office.
Although Old South Church began this community mission years ago - and still organizes the volunteers, organizations, and calendar - various community organizations and churches host this FREE Community Dinner at the American Legion, 5:00pm-6:00pm.
Local restaurants are now providing meals several times throughout the year, in addition to the meals that volunteers bring to the dinners.
Spend time with old friends, meet new people, bring the kids, play games or listen to music (different activities provided each week), all while enjoying a FREE meal!
To see a calendar of weekly hosts, click here.

Business Meetings
Sunday, February 9th, Following Worship
Annual Meeting Pot Luck Luncheon
Prior to Annual Meeting we will enjoy a pot luck luncheon in the Fellowship Hall. We are looking for donations of entrees, salads, hot dishes, breads, rolls, and desserts. Hot and cold beverages will be provided by the church Social Committee. There is a sign-up on the front entryway bulletin board. Questions? See John or Pama Dangelo.
Annual Meeting Following Luncheon
Please join us for Annual Meeting following the luncheon. Many items will be discussed and need to be voted on! Committee Chairs: Please email your committee reports to Kat as soon as possible. Deadline is Sunday, January 26th, but the earlier, the better!
The Missions Committee is gearing up for their annual Soup-er Bowl Sunday, Feb.2nd. Please consider bringing in a few cans of soup to help re-stock our local food shelf. It goes without saying, that donations of food or money to the Windsor Food Shelf are welcome any time. They especially appreciate monetary donations as then they’re able to purchase what is specifically needed for the food shelf. Please deposit your soup in the basket as you enter the church door.
Classicopia presents: Go Tell It on the Mountain
Saturday, February 15th, 2:00pm
Spirituals and ragtime to celebrate African American History Month. Old South Church's Music Director, Mezzo-soprano Laura Compton, joins pianist/Artistic Director Daniel Weiser in this thrilling concert that will include exciting arrangements of such favorites as “Amazing Grace,” “Wade in the Water,” “Deep River,” “My Lord, What a Morning” and many more. Dr. Weiser will also play some wonderful Ragtime by Scott Joplin, James Scott, James Lamb and more and talk about how both of these musical traditions came together in the early part of the 20th century to produce some of the first truly American music that would spread around the world and lead to the rise of the Blues and Jazz as our American idiom. Tickets at the door are $15 for church members; $20 for nonmembers. Or purchase discounted tickets at classicopia.org/concert/go-tell-it-on-the-mountain. Children 18 and under are always free.
