Prayer Request

Please continue to pray for Lois Bennett as she transitions to a skilled nursing facility in the days to come.

 Looking for help to move furniture!

The Parish Board is looking into getting a junk trailer to get rid of the old furniture that is upstairs as well as a bunch of stuff that is downstairs.  If you are able and or know someone that is willing to give us a hand, please contact Karen Murphy at kmurphy718@charter.net or 508-801-7692 with your availability.

We are looking at doing this the beginning of October.  Thank you in advance for your help.

Sunday School

Would you consider taking a turn teaching Sunday School occasionally? We are hoping to get Sunday School class sessions started again soon—with classes lasting 25 minutes following the Youth Message in worship on Sunday morning.  We would like to have classes on the 2^nd, 3^rd, and 4^th Sundays of the month.  We have just ordered a wonderful new story-based curriculum that makes planning and leading classes easy—and it has arrived in case anyone would like to look at it.  No one will have to teach every week, so if you would be willing to volunteer to teach once every other month or “once in a while,” you would help immensely!  If interested, please talk with Nancy Arsenault or Pastor Doug sometime soon!

Sharing Cupboard Needs:

The Sharing Cupboard currently needs mayo, mustard, ketchup, cookies, crackers cereal and coffee. Thanks to the wonderful community outreach, our shelves are well stocked with other items. Please leave all donations in the donation box at the church entry.
