LIFE ALIVE BRUNCH ON SUNDAY
Please join the Life Alive group after worship this Sunday, June 28, for brunch out. Life Alive is a small group for adults navigating career, family, and life transitions. Life Alive meets regularly after church for monthly fellowship. If you want to join or have questions, see or email Rev. Joshua at joshua.lazard@cotcbos.org.
WELCOME CHILDREN & YOUTH!!
Welcome to all children, youth, and families—those we know already and those who are here for the first time. During the school year, we offer Christian education through Godly Play for ages 3-9 and youth classes for ages 10-13 and 14+. On typical Sundays, families are welcome to drop off young ones in the nursery or to stick around or come and go as you feel comfortable. We share CYCE info regularly via email, so please email Rev. Kate at kate.carlisle@cotcbos.org if you want to receive updates.
COVENANT CONNECTIONS
Are you in college? Just moved to the Boston area for grad school? Are you early in your career and looking for a spiritual home? Covenant Connections is a small group for those looking for a spiritual community to discern what God has next for them through Bible studies and connecting over meals. If you want to know more, email Rev. Joshua at joshua.lazard@cotcbos.org.
