Summer services have ended, and we are looking forward to starting the church year with our new minister, Rev. Misty-Dawn Shelly! Please join us for Ingathering with Water Communion on Sunday, September 8.

In the meantime, we have another opportunity to gather! We will be having our RE Picnic on Sunday, August 18 at 12 pm. All are welcome - if you couldn't make it to last week's church picnic, or if you feel the need for TWO church picnics, here is your chance!

Weather permitting we will eat outside at the Turquoise Table, or feel free to bring a picnic blanket or lawn chairs. If it rains, we will meet in the Chapel.

BYOL (Bring Your Own Lunch) -

lemonade, snacks, and games will be provided!

Exciting news! We have adopted 600 voters and 260 letters are ready to be sent. At our July meeting, 100 letters were completed and 5 bundles were taken away. Good steady progress is being made!

Our next gathering will be hosted by Kim Hall at 8 Schipper Farm Lane in Southborough beginning at 1 PM on Tuesday, August 27. We usually spend about 2 hours writing letters but feel free to drop in for less time. We love to touch base!

We are planning a September party hosted by Kris Allen on Tuesday, September 10, from 10 - noon

If you aren't able to get to a letter writing party, I can prepare a packet for you and we can find a way to connect.
