Ask Little, Receive All
Interim Minister Rev. Donna Muise
 
Just over three weeks ago, we began our journey in ministry together. I thank you for your many kindness and visits. There will be more!

My scheduled office hours at this point are 10-4 on Mondays and Wednesdays; 10-1 on Tuesdays and Thursdays. On Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1-4 I will be out visiting in our community.

If you’re interested in a visit from me, please call the office and we can set something up that’s convenient for both of us. I have an open door policy, so I hope you will feel free to drop in if you’re in the neighborhood!

Donna's email is revdonna@wolfeboroucc.org or call 603-569-1555 (office), 603-309-6963 (cell) to be in touch.

Scripture

1 Kings 2: 10-12

Then David slept with his ancestors, and was buried in the city of David. 11 The time that David reigned over Israel was forty years; he reigned seven years in Hebron, and thirty-three years in Jerusalem. 12 So Solomon sat on the throne of his father David; and his kingdom was firmly established.


John 6: 51-58

I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats of this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.”
The Jews then disputed among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” So Jesus said to them, “Very truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will raise them up on the last day; for my flesh is true food and my blood is true drink. Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood abide in me, and I in them. Just as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so whoever eats me will live because of me. This is the bread that came down from heaven, not like that which your ancestors ate, and they died. But the one who eats this bread will live forever.”
In-Person Worship
Join us at 10:00 am in our sanctuary for In-person worship with our new Interim Minister, the Rev. Donna Muise.

As we determine how to worship safely, we are asking all people to mask inside to help protect our most vulnerable and we will be socially distancing in the pews. Please pick up your individually packaged communion elements on your way into the service on Communion Sundays. Offering plates will be in the gathering space for you to drop off your offering. After worship, Rev. Donna Muise will greet you on the sidewalk outside the front of the church. 
​
We are excited to be together again and we hope you can join us!

Cate Park in-person worship
Come and worship by the lakeside! Every Sunday at 7:30 am we will continue our in-person Cate Park worship services!

Cate Park is located on the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee by the town docks and across from the Post Office. Gather around the gazebo with your chair, your coffee, your dog, your friends. Worship is simple and relaxed. Come as you are!

Please remember to social distance! If you are vaccinated you do not need to wear masks, but if you are unvaccinated we ask that you continue to wear your mask. We can't wait to see you all!

On Communion Sundays please bring your own bread and juice. Assume worship is canceled if it is raining hard enough to use your windshield wipers, but keep your eye out for an early morning email letting you know it is canceled.
