This Sunday and Beyond… This Sunday, Welcome In, Love. Last summer, following a family emergency, Rev. Elizabeth found her world, and her family, expanded when a close friend leaned into love and offered unexpected support. Through this service, we’ll explore how, in welcoming in love, we can be more fully present in our families or our communities, more deeply committed to how we show up in the world, and embody our Unitarian Universalist faith more fully.If you plan to join us online, click Launch Service. JANUARY AND FEBRUARY SERVICES WILL BE IN THE SOCIAL HALL ********************************************************************************** MUSIC Rise Up Singing – This Friday, 7:30 PM in the Social Hall.

Here is a message from Kristen. “That’s right. It’s that time again: the 3rd Sat. of the month, when we take our helping hands to Lynn to serve in whatever way we can, from noon – 3:00 PM. We meet at the church at 11:00 AM, depart in a carpool by 11:15, and arrive on time to lend our hands so that the take-out meals are ready for the guests. So far, Eleanor, Eric, and Kristen have signed on to go to MBT. Eleanor is our driver ((She knows the way since she volunteers for other shifts during the week). Anyone else who cares to join us, please let Kristen know.” Email Kristen at motherkrez@hotmail.com. Wakefield Community Meals for February have been announced.
