Together in Christ—We Pray
I am happy to report that I finished my cancer treatments and received a “no signs of cancer report this past May.” Thank you to my church family for the love, cards, and calls but mostly for the continued prayers over the past year! – Misti Hedges
Please submit prayer requests here or call Pastor John at 508-451-5858 or MaryAnne Farley (774) 487-0719.
Committed to Serve—We are Making a Difference!
Help to Care for Creation! We need to get back to recycling here at the church. Volunteering to take our recycling to the dump would make it all possible again. Give Jane a call if you can help. at 508-428-2811.
It’s Summertime, and the living is…
As summer becomes a very busy time, our church grows…how would you like to help on Sundays?
Be a Liturgist
Would you like to read the scripture? A liturgist (lay reader) is needed at each service. You’ll be given the verses during the week, so you can become familiar with them.
Welcome or Usher
Become an usher on Sunday morning. Welcome people as they enter and help them find a seat. We’ll pair you with someone very familiar with the procedures.
Provide flowers for the altar
Arrangements for Sunday services are available for $50. You choose whom you wish to honor and what Sunday you would like. Call Jane at at 508-428-2811 or sign up on the calendar in the sanctuary if you are interested.
It does take many people to have our services run smoothly each Sunday. Participating in these ways will make you much more familiar with our wonderful congregation and church.
