REDUCE --- REUSE --- RECYCLE!

Thanks again First Church for supporting my team for the annual Walk for HAWC on Sunday 6/9. They were so grateful for the donation.

Blessing,

Please join My Brother's Table for a relaxing evening on the oceanfront roof deck of Mission on the Bay, celebrating the reopening of the Table's dining room and helping to raise the last dollars needed for the renovations.

In 2020, the Table went from in-house dining, serving 200,000 meals a year, to take-out only and serving a million meals a year. The beautiful new dining room provides extra production space, dine-in seating and a take-out area with your contribution being an important part of making it all happen!

New Sunday Morning Parking Signage

First Church is experiencing a number of churchgoers being dropped off in the front driveway, and the church council has been asked to address the difficulty they experience negotiating along the lawn and accessing the sidewalk between the parked cars. 

As we welcome those who are older or less agile, we are setting aside an area in the front drive limited to “Drop Off/Pick Up Only.”  There will still be a few handicap and other open slots along the curved drive, but the space between the new signs will be a “No Parking" area.  These signs will be placed outside on Sunday mornings only, unless other groups request use of them for their events.

Thank you for your understanding as we continue to work to welcome one and all.

Al-Anon is an organization that offers experience, strength and hope to families who are

struggling with alcoholism and addiction. It is a very safe place to share the challenges of

difficult family situations. We at Al-Anon are very grateful to the First Church of Swampscott which has offered us space to hold our meetings, as below:

Tuesday nights at 7:30

Tuesday mornings at 10:00 a.m. in the library

Thursdays at noon in the library

Please join us! For more information, please email Jodie or Laurie. Thanks.
