HANCOCK — The Union Congregational Church of Hancock, in solidarity with other local United Church of Christ churches, will be holding peace and prayer vigils during the months of October and November. A time of prayer and quiet will be offered for any who need or desire a sacred space of calm and peace. Come, bring yourself, whoever you are, however you are feeling. Bring your worries, anxieties, hopes, and prayers for peace. This will be a time of quiet; for prayers, meditation, reflection or any other ways you seek to use this time and space. We will have printed prayers you may take; candles you can light for your prayers or needs and quiet music for reflection. Come and stay, for a minute or the entire hour. Everyone is welcome.
