CONDUCT A JEWELRY SEARCH THIS SUMMER!

We know you'd rather spend time outdoors when the weather is warm and sunny, but cleaning out closets and drawers is a great rainy day activity.

 
We've started our fair jewelry collection early this year to give us more time to sort, clean and prepare your donations for sale at our annual church fair in November. If you, a neighbor, relative, friend or co-worker have jewelry to part with, this is a perfect place to donate your cast-offs and benefit our church.

 
We accept estate jewelry, fine jewelry, and costume jewelry of any style or type. Just put your pieces in a clear plastic bag and leave them in the church office, or contact: Elaine Henriksen -781-344-0789; eshenriksen@verizon.net, or Dee Hayes - 508-238-1296.

Summer is here and
we could use your help tknito make it a banner year for the Church Fair. 

If you are looking for yarn to make items for the hand-knit table, please contact Maurine Upton. We are looking for people to make hand made items such as children's sweaters, baby items, afghans, towels, pot holders, mittens, hats, scarfs plus any new suggestions for the table. 

 
Please call Maurine Upton at 781-344-4609. Thank you.

SUNDAY MORNING PRAYER SERVICE
9:00 am July 1 and 8
in the Outdoor Chapel
Begin your Sunday in the cool of a summer morning under a shade tree, taking in the beauty of God's magnificent creation,
listening to the sounds of nature,
and lifting the joys and concerns on your heart to our Divine Creator.


On Sunday, July 1 and 8, beginning at 9 am,
we will hold an informal prayer service in our Outdoor Chapel,
which will last approximately 40 minutes.

 
If this prayer service is well attended and received,
we will continue it through the summer,
led by lay members of the congregation.
