Wednesday AA Meeting
2026-12-23 20:00 - 21:00, 2026-12-30 20:00 - 21:00 | Memorial United Methodist Church, 867 West Avon Road, Avon, CT, 06001, United States
Alcoholics Anonymous Meeting
Meeting Date: Every Wednesday and Saturday (Open Meeting)
Time: 8:00 pm
Location: Fellowship Hall
Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) was founded in America in 1935 by Bill Wilson (Bill W.) and Robert Smith (Dr. Bob). Two centuries earlier, John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, established Methodist penitent bands in England, which organized on Saturday nights, the evening on which members of these small groups were most tempted to frequent alehouses. The hymns and teaching provided during these meetings addressed the issues the members faced, thus the connection between these bands and the current practices of AA.
In addition, other Avon locations for AA meetings are available, one at the Avon Center Congregational Church each morning at 7:00 AM, and also on Tuesday evenings at 8:00 PM at the West Avon Congregational Church on Country Club Road.
If you know of anyone who would benefit from participating in any of these meetings, please have them contact any of the three churches mentioned. AA is truly a lifesaving program that has stood the test of time.

Healing & Anointing Service
Date: Last Sunday of the month
Time: Following 8:30 am and 10:30 am Sunday Services
Location: Sanctuary
In the United Methodist Church, healing and anointing are important ministries, though they are not considered sacraments in the same way as Baptism and Holy Communion. Instead, they are understood as sacramental acts—means of grace through which God’s presence, love, and healing power can be experienced.
Our church will hold the healing and anointing service (5-10 minutes) after each Sunday service on the last Sunday of the month. During healing and anointing, you may come forward to the altar rail, and the pastor may place hands on the head or shoulder and anoint with oil on the forehead in the sign of the cross. Or you may remain in the pew and pray for yourself and others. Or you may leave quietly for Coffee Hour.
If you have any questions about the healing and anointing service, please feel free to contact Pastor Lee. May the Lord be with you, touch you, and make you strong and well in body and spirit through healing and anointing! Amen.

“Prayer Warriors” are committed individuals, not necessarily trained professionals, who intercede in prayer on behalf of others, often those in spiritual or personal distress. The phrase “prayer warriors needed” is a call to action, indicating that prayers are necessary for a specific situation, person, or goal, and it encourages others to pray persistently and faithfully for that need.
Come and share in this new exciting prayer group at MUMC!
