We invite you to join us for the First Sunday Conversation at 9:00 AM and 11 am on Sunday May 3, to learn more about how we can all work together to meet today’s needs and plan for our future - Growing our Future in Faith! If you can’t attend the first Sunday conversation, any committee member can answer your questions: Susan Bastardo and Jenny Sanders (co-chairs), Dick Delorme, Bryan Diehl, Jeff Plante, Dawn Rooke, Jeremy Sanders, Craig Stanovich, and Ann Tripp.
Mission Fair: On Sunday, April 26th, Mission Ministries will be hosting coffee hour and holding a mini Mission Fair to provide information about the many ways we strive to serve those in our surrounding communities. We will have information about various ministries including our Mission Partners (Abby's House, Dismas Farm, Mustard Seed, and Wachusett Food Pantry) as well as Laundry Love, Heifer International, the DCF Wonderfund, and Episcopal Relief & Development. Grab some coffee and baked goods and check in at our tables to see what we are up to!
MENDING DIVISION TED Talk Series on Healing our Relationships and Strengthening our Communities. Please join us for the final conversation in our three-part series of TED Talks on Friday, May 8th at 7:00 pm in Fellowship Hall. Each of the three talks addresses practical principles and practices for restoring strained relationships and strengthening communities but feel free to attend even if you missed the first two discussions. In this next installment, Betty Hart proposes moving from a "cancel" culture to a compassion culture in How Compassion Could Save Your Strained Relationships. You don't need to watch the (ten minute) video in advance. There is a sign-up sheet in the Narthex and we will have pizza and snacks (small donations appreciated).
