Christ Episcopal Church

Christ Episcopal is excited to introduce Bubble Church, an innovative, family-centered worship experience designed especially for babies, toddlers, preschoolers, and their caregivers. Beginning Sunday, September 13, 2026, Bubble Church will gather on the second Sunday of every month at 9:00 a.m.

Developed in the United Kingdom, Bubble Church has quickly grown as a welcoming and engaging way for young families to experience church together. Christ Episcopal Church is the first congregation in the United States to offer the program.

Bubble Church is a 30-minute, interactive service filled with songs, storytelling, movement, puppets, bubbles, prayer, and hands-on activities that introduce young children to God's love in a joyful, age-appropriate way. Families are invited to stay come early for refreshments and conversation prior to the 9:00 a.m. service.

"We're thrilled to bring Bubble Church to Guilford," said the Rev. Michael Sweeney, Rector of Christ Episcopal Church. "Many families are looking for a place where young children are not just welcomed but celebrated. Bubble Church creates a fun, relaxed environment where children can laugh, sing, explore, and experience God's love alongside their parents and caregivers."

Designed for children ages 0-7 and the adults who care for them, Bubble Church offers a meaningful alternative for families seeking a church experience that embraces the energy and curiosity of young children. 

Bubble Church is free and open to everyone - whether families attend church regularly or are simply curious to explore.

Tantien Integrative Medicine is a specialized, physician-led

Tantien Integrative Medicine

Tantien Integrative Medicine is a specialized, physician-led practice located in Branford, Connecticut, dedicated to providing root-cause care, lifestyle and longevity medicine for adults across the Greater New Haven region and the Connecticut shoreline. Led by Dr. Laura Tavernier, MD, the practice offers a highly personalized approach by limiting its patient base to 100 individuals, ensuring that every client receives the dedicated time and attention required for complex health concerns. With 34 years of clinical experience, Dr. Tavernier is board-certified in integrative medicine and fellowship-trained at the Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine. The practice specializes in managing chronic conditions such as Lyme disease, autoimmune disorders, digestive issues, chronic fatigue, and brain fog. By utilizing advanced 3x4 Genetics testing, the team creates tailored treatment plans that address individual biological needs regarding inflammation, hormones, and stress, rather than relying on standardized, symptom-based prescriptions. Patients can expect a comprehensive 90-minute initial consultation designed to uncover the full history of their health rather than just a list of symptoms. This commitment to deep, individualized care ensures that every treatment plan is uniquely built for the patient's specific body, fostering a collaborative and thorough path toward improved wellness. At Tantien Integrative Medicine, I partner with somatic educator and Oxygen Advantage®–certified breathwork instructor Nicole Tavernier, creator of The Functional Living Method™ and the State Flexibility™ framework. Through The Functional Living Method™, Nicole offers somatic movement education, functional breath work, and nervous-system–focused support to help clients build regulation, resilience, and state flexibility — in person at our Branford office and virtually for clients worldwide.
