ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR MARCH 10, 2013:
NEXT SERVICE: Sunday, March 17: Ministry DoesYou are moving towards the search process for your next settled minister, a process that has evolved over time. Though you will select a team that you trust to do the nitty-gritty detail work, this process involves the whole congregation. Ministry is all that we do together - it is a verb. Rev. Priscilla Richter & Rev. Martha L. Munson
NEXT DROP-IN DISCUSSION: Sunday, March 17: Saying Goodbye. David Damico's mother recently passed away. He said the weeks he spent with her as her health declined and the moment he looked into her eyes at the end has left a memory that he will cherish forever. What's your story of saying goodbye? Did the event bring you closer to family as his did? How did you experience the passing? Do you believe in angels, babies being born near the time of passing, a spiritual connection? Come share with us this insight and belief. David Damico will facilitate.
RELIGIOUS EDUCATION: Kids ages four and older join us every week in the sanctuary for the first portion of our worship service. Children's Worship begins after the Message for All Ages. Nursery care for babies and younger children is provided throughout the service on the second floor. We also have seating in our second floor foyer, where parents can hold their little ones and listen to the service via speaker.
FOOD INGATHERING is TODAY. Donations of non-perishable food items,toiletries, and paper goods will be collected to benefit The Food Cupboard on Nester Street.
THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES voted unanimously to extend Rev. Munson's contract for a second year of interim ministry with us. We will be starting some of the preparations for the settled minister's search very soon...stay tuned for more details.
EASTER PLANTS: Please help decorate the sanctuary for Easter by ordering a plant for $9. Becky Elwell and Ruth Fitzgerald are taking orders until March 24th. Please specify whether you want to take the plant home with you after the Easter service or want to give it to a member of the home congregation. If you'd like to dedicate the plant in memory of or in honor of someone, we'll list his/her name in the Easter Sunday order of service. Also, if you'd like to deliver a plant to someone, we could use your help!
LUUNCH BUUNCH will gather on March 10 at Dac Hoa, 230 Monroe Avenue at noon after the service. The prices on the menu are modest; the food is yummy. There are also over a dozen vegetarian options. All are welcome!
