Don’t miss this Sunday’s annual All-Newton UCC summer service! Pastors from throughout the city will lead us in this joint worship.

There will be no Sunday worship at the UCW building this week!
Living with Loss
Support Group Resumes on September 13 at 11:30 a.m.
All of us live with loss in our lives in so many ways: the death of spouses, children, parents, and other loved ones; the loss of our own or loved ones’ capacity due to illness and aging; the loss of work or other roles that give us a sense of meaning and purpose; and so many more losses. If you are in a season of living with loss and would like to be in supportive spiritual community with others, please join us.

Cynthia Sanger Welcome!
Settled Music Director
The UCW Music Search Committee is delighted to announce the hiring of our new Settled Music Director, Cynthia Sanger. Some of you may even know Cynthia, who is a Newton local. Cynthia impressed both the committee and the choir with her musical skills and with the energy and passion with which she directed our choir during her audition.
