​​​​

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).  

Mission Ministries Food Drive:  Our next Food Collection for our Mission Partners:  Abby's House, Dismas Farm, Mustard Seed and the Wachusett Food Pantry, is on May 9th from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m.  The list of items most needed remains the same as last month and can be located on the mission table in the narthex or by clicking here.  Thank you for your faithful and continued support to these vital ministries.  The need remains great and you are 

truly appreciated.

Capital Campaign:  Our campaign is ready to launch!  Please join us on May 17th in the Church Narthex after each service for a Capital Campaign information fair.  Learn more about what will be accomplished through your generosity and how the planned projects will improve our worship, rectory, and fellowship spaces. Campaign committee members will be present to answer questions and discuss how we are Growing our Future in Faith!

 

Stations of the Resurrection:  During the Easter season, the "Stations of the Cross" in the worship space are replaced with the "Stations of the Resurrection," also known as "Via Lucis" (Way of Light). This devotional practice focuses on the events following Jesus' resurrection, offering a contemplative journey through the season. A booklet containing scripture, prayers, and information about each icon is available on the table just outside the worship space to guide your practice. These icons are beautifully insightful, and you are invited to experience them whenever the church is open.
