Sunday Service
"In Full Bloom"
Led by Rev. Laurel Gray
This is our last Sunday of the church year and we’re doing a joint flower communion service in our sanctuary with the two other Circle RE congregations (Northborough and Marlborough-Hudson). This service will be co-led by our RE participants as a celebration of children and the joy of being together in community. Please remember to bring a flower for this joyful morning, as well as a baby item for our Baby Clothes Drive!
*Note that this service will be followed by the annual meeting at noon and the church picnic, later in the afternoon.

We hope you are all planning to join us for the church picnic immediately following the annual meeting THIS SUNDAY UNDER THE TENT FROM 1-3 pm at Nourse Farm, 80 Jasper St, Westborough, thanks to the generous donation of the tent by Catherine and Tim Nourse.
You may pack your own picnic, or if you would like to order something yummy from the Nourse Farm VegOut Food truck on site
HERE IS A LINK to make it easier- you can pre-order anytime in advance, even now, for pickup Sunday! It is easy-peasy.
The polenta tots sound especially yummy (and definitely are good to order IN ADVANCE if possible- easier for the food truck folks, and less wait-time for you).
|
And remember that the membership committee is sponsoring a FREE SCOOP of Nourse Farm ice cream! Thanks go to them as well!
See Kim for a ticket at the meeting or at the picnic. Serving place will be announced and will start about 2 ish.
Parking is a bit tight so please consider car-pooling
Seating is available in the tent, and you can also bring a folding chair.
We hope to see you there!
Kim, Pauline, and Lisa
