Bible Study will be led by Kathryn Henderson and will meet in Stacy’s office this Sunday at 8:00 a.m. We are currently reading the book of Matthew. Anyone is welcome to join in.

 

 

April 22 is Earth Day, so this Sunday, April 21, we’ll be celebrating our connection with the planet and the natural world during the morning worship service through special music and readings. Go here for the stewardship resources used in the worship service.

Later that afternoon there is a special program at Society of St. John the Evangelist for anyone who would like to explore some of these themes more fully. See more details here.

Plan to attend the committee fairs that we will be hosting on April 28th and May 5th. Join us on the stage during reception, learn about the opportunities in our various committees, and see if one might be a fit for you!

Come join us at the All-Comers party on Friday, May 3rd!

You may be thinking, “What a ridiculous name for a party! I wonder why they call it All-Comers.” Well, we used to call it “New-Comers,” and people wondered how new they had to be in order to attend. It was very confusing. But just like our church, this party is inclusive. Bring your kids, bring your spouse, bring yourself even if you haven’t been to church in years. We’d love to see you on Friday, May 3rd from 6:30-8:30ish. For more details, contact the office, or call 617-527-6221.
