From the Minister
Dear Church,
As we come off of a week of feasting, let's be together in community. Please join in person or via zoom as we dig into one of my favorite Hebrew Bible texts - Ezekiel. We will read about the ways that God cares for us and we will also be reminded of how we should respond to those who are in need. Come for community, come for solace.
Grace and peace,
Sam

From the Bench
Lots of music happening this week! For our Thanksgiving service, Jaya Lakshminarayanan will be the soloist, and in keeping with our female composer theme, she will sing her own Thanksgiving Psalm, as well as Alison LaRosa’s setting of Psalm 100, premiered by Jaya at Alison and Heath’s wedding back in June.
On Sunday, you will get more female composers for the organ voluntaries in another preview of Sunday afternoon’s concert. And the choir will sing 3 of Dan Pinkham’s Covenant Motets, as we say Farewell to the church year.

Sunday Concert Series: Music, She Wrote
Sunday, Nov 26, 5:00 PM
Our next Sunday concert is the first of a double-header (second installment coming up in January) entitled Music, She Wrote. It consists of organ works by female composers, ranging from pioneering Elfrida Andrée (who petitioned the Swedish parliament to become the first female organist in all the land), Amy Beach (first successful American female composer), and Florence Price (first African-American female composer to have her music performed by a major symphony orchestra), to more contemporary fare, such as Nancy Plummer Faxon's festive Toccata and Emma Lou Diemer’s fiery Fiesta.
As always, you save $5 by getting tickets ahead of time at

It's that time of year again... time to grab our gloves and sheers and help to decorate the sanctuary for the Advent season! Please join us on Dec 2 to help hang garlands and wreaths throughout the sanctuary, add greens to the outdoor planters, and place poinsettias on the windowsills. Fueled by coffee and donuts, you are guaranteed a wonderfully spirited, fun-filled start to the Advent season, whatever your age. E-mail Laura to let us know you will be there- the more the merrier, and the faster we finish the job!!!
