Covid Respite for CCN - "Come away and rest awhile." |
In consultation with the Vestry, staff, lay leadership, and colleagues in the Diocese, I have decided that we will take up the Bishops’ invitation to a “Covid Respite.” See the Bishops’ letter here.
Accordingly, the Church Office will be closed Friday, June 24 through Friday, July 1 and will reopen Tuesday, July 5. Worship on Sundays June 26 and July 3 will be Morning Prayer at 9am with no live stream. The Altar Guild will have the Sundays off. No church meetings are scheduled. Our sabbatical priest Lauren Lukason will be in on Tuesday, June 28 for office hours, and available on her cell phone for pastoral emergencies. Don’t hesitate to reach out to our Warden, Dusty Hecker, or Manager of Parish Operations, Ali Heard, with questions.

Sponsor Music on Sundays This Summer |
Once again, worshippers have an opportunity to sponsor music on Sundays throughout the summer. For a suggested gift of $100-150, you can sponsor a Sunday of music and the hymn of choice will be sung on a Sunday that you choose beginning on June 12. Your gift may be in memory of a loved one, in honor of someone living, or in commemoration of an occasion. |
|
Sign up online here or email or call Ali in the office (office@ccneedham.org / (781) 444-1469).
Gifts can be mailed to the office (please note “Summer Music” in the memo section) or made online (please select “Summer Music” from the drop down menu). Due to online streaming restrictions, your hymn of choice must come from either Hymnal 1982 or Wonder, Love, and Praise. Both can be found in the pews.
