Our Mission:
With love at the center of all that we do, it is our hope to journey beside our youth as they grow in faith together and discover how God is calling each one of them to use their gifts to help build a just world for all.

Dearest Church Family,

Grace and peace to you!

It is my prayer that you and your family are finding ways to rest and refuel on this Memorial Day Weekend. I am looking forward to seeing all of you in the weeks ahead, and certainly in the Fall as we continue to be hopeful that we will be able to safely gather together for worship, church school, youth group, confirmation, THE PUMPKIN PATCH and more!

In the next week, we look forward to the ways our families will be able to participate in the Celebration Sunday Pre-recorded
Worship Service on June 6th!
(Thank you to those who have volunteered to participate already!)
It is our hope to also host a special seedling drop off and special connection opportunity following the worship service on Sunday June 6th between 11:15 and 12:15!! We are so excited to see what vegetable and herb plants our families will donate to our Farm to Table Summer Project that will support the Wellesley Food Pantry! Please stay tuned!

Below you will find what is happening in the next couple of weeks for youth at the Hills! If you did not get a chance to look at this week's EVENT at the Hills Newsletter that goes out each Thursday, you can find it HERE!

Mrs. T included a beautiful way to honor this upcoming Memorial Day. I include this sharing for you here:
Memorial Day Outreach idea: Remembrance (John 15:12-13)
"We invite families to spend an afternoon at a local cemetery and clean up neglected graves. Bring work gloves, sunscreen, and bug repellent.
As you work, talk about what Jesus said in John 15:12-13 about laying down one’s life for friends. Remembering The brave heroes who died for our country remind us that, sometimes, we need to put the needs of others ahead of ourselves."

Peace and Joy,
Rev. Anne Marie
