Become a part of our Dream Team! We always need Lay Readers, Ushers, Closers, Coffee Hour crews, and people to run slide shows during worship service. 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. Please contact MaryAnne Farley at 1 (774) 487-0719 or booklover126@comcast.net.
Bible Study Continues on Thursday Mornings! At 10:00 am in the solarium during the summer. We are studying the scripture that will be read the following Sunday. Come when you can. Don’t worry about signing up. Don’t worry about having any experience studying the Word. Bring a friend. We will be in the cool air of the solarium. All are welcome.
