CCN Confirmation Class is Collecting Items for CityReach
|
|
|
This year's Confirmation Class is beginning its CityReach service project to learn about and serve the homeless in Boston. The first step in this project is collecting donations of the homeless' most-needed clothing and personal hygiene items from our Church community. The Confirmands will then help distribute these items to the homeless directly at Common Cathedral in downtown Boston on April 30. Nylon jackets & raincoats, sweatshirts & sweaters, casual shirts and pants, comfortable boots & shoes, new socks and underwear, and travel-size toiletries are among the most-needed items. The full list of needed clothing and personal hygiene items can be found here. Beginning today, you can drop these items off at the designated collection bins in Upper Parish Hall. If you are unable to drop at the church please contact Alyssa Kence to make alternate arrangements.

Summer is coming! Choose a hymn for summer worship by May 15.
|
Once again, worshippers have an opportunity to select a favorite hymn to be sung during summer worship. For a gift of $100, your hymn of choice will be sung on a Sunday that you choose beginning June 12th. We will strive to honor all specific date requests. Due to online streaming restrictions, your hymn of choice may come from either Hymnal 1982 or Wonder, Love, and Praise. Both can be found in the pews. Summer worship extends through September 4th. Won’t you help us ensure that every summer Sunday has music to offer? Your gift may be in memory of a loved one, in honor of someone living, in commemoration of an occasion, or another designation. Please send your Summer Music Gift to Ali Heard in the church office, 1132 Highland Ave., Needham 02494 by May 15th. Please indicate “Summer Music 2022” on the memo line.
