Bartimaeus  
 
This week we will focus on the story of the blind man's healing and the reaction of the community. 

Lee Ridgeway will be with us this week at the organ console and will be directing the choir. 

Dann Maurno will be giving the reflection at the Celtic Service at 5:00 pm. If others would like to consider sharing a story of an encounter with the holy, please speak to our Rector, Debbie.

Please join us wherever you are

Bowditch School Partnership News

If you took your notebook home this past Sunday, don't forget to bring it back this Sunday. The kids will get them back on Monday. 


We will take part in two other activities over the next few weeks.  The scholars at the Bowditch will be taking their Language Arts MCAS on April 4th and 11th. We will be writing personal encouragement notes to them for the exam on the 4th the 4th. On April 2nd, after each service, we will stay a bit and write these notes. Please consider staying and supporting our scholars.

The other activity is in support of the National Junior Honor Society at the Bowditch. As part of their community project, they are collecting gently used or new clothes as part of the national "Cradle to Crayons" program. Please consider donating to this project in partnership with our kids and helping other kids in need.
 



Palm Sunday Narrative
There is a signup sheet in the Lobby for those wishing to read a portion of the Passion story on the 9th of April. Simply sign up for the part you wish to read and then take a copy of the script for practice. There are many parts available, and no acting experience is required. Please remember to bring your script back with you on April 9th.
Help Wanted
Bookkeeper: Grace Church's Finance Committee is looking for someone familiar with Quickbooks to assist with our bookkeeping. It usually takes about 2 hours per week to input the information and cut a few checks. Our bookkeeping is fairly simple. Please consider this volunteer opportunity and contact either our treasurer, Jesse Angeley at [email protected] or our finance chair, Jonathan Davis at [email protected].
 
Snow Removal: Karen and Tom Tucker have been doing a remarkable job with snow removal these many years, but are requiring help for the future. If you would consider being put on a list of people to called during a storm, please contact Tom Tucker directly at 781-654-7170.
