Office Fix-up is Ongoing – Front Entrance Change, For Now
The renovations to the pastor’s office are continuing and we see light at the end of the tunnel! We are currently using the front coat room to hold the office furniture and supplies. For safety reasons, we ask that you do not enter that room at this time. In addition, the single door front entrance is not to be used. NOTE: The front double doors are accessible and can be used.
Thanks for your patience.

Church Phone
The church office phone is temporarily out of order due to the renovation. Please send all inquiries to the church email: fccwbworship@gmail.com. We apologize for this inconvenience.

School Supply Collection
Thanks to everyone who donated to the school supplies collection! Many local children will be all set to begin another year because of your contributions.
The Flea Market is Coming in September!
FLEA MARKET IS JUST 3 WEEKS AWAY!
We are still looking for a few early birds:
2-3 RUNNERS – Runners guide the vendors to their spaces. Runners need to arrive at 6:15am and be physically able to quickly walk the common repeatedly as they guide the vendors to their spaces. The shift is from 6:15am – 8:30am. We realize this is a difficult ask, considering it is very early and can be physically taxing. Please know these volunteers are very much appreciated!
If you can help, please see Karen Murphy!
Flea Vendors Needed
We are still seeking vendors! Would you like to rent a 20 x 20 grassy spot on the common for $40? Crafters, vendors, tag salers and others are welcome to join in the fun! This is a great way to free yourself of unneeded items and enjoy a beautiful day. See Karen Murphy for an application.
Please invite your friends and spread the word!
Our New Minister Arriving Soon!
Please mark your calendars and plan to be at church on Sunday, September 7th to welcome our new minister, The Rev. Dr. Douglas Williamson (Pastor Doug) and his wife Karen. A welcoming coffee hour will follow our morning worship.
The Music Committee is seeking guest musicians for the summer. Soloists, groups and/or instrumentalists are all welcome. The choir will resume in September so special musical offerings would be greatly appreciated for these summer weeks. If interested, please call Chris Showalter at (508) 577-3043 for details.
Sunday Schedule: August
As was mentioned in a previous announcement, in the weeks before our new DTP, Doug Williamson begins his ministry with us, we have the opportunity to enjoy a variety of guest speakers from the missions that our church supports. Following is the schedule for August.
Please note the change for August 31st. Pastor Linda had a conflict on that day and so Pastor Julie Olmsted will be joining us. Some of you may remember Julie from her time with us last winter. We are happy to welcome her back to our church!
*There are printed copies of our summer worship schedule located on the rear table for those who would like a paper copy.
*Remember, communion for the month of August will be held on August 31st.
Sharing Cupboard Needs:
The Sharing Cupboard is in need of more plastic shopping bags, mayo, canned peas, canned carrots, and canned green beans. Please leave all donations in the donation box at the church entry. Thank you!
