A Message From Ama Beth...
What a joy it was this past Sunday to return to our usual schedule of 8 & 10! The early service is quiet and contemplative and we had a wonderful group to kick off the fall schedule. At 10 AM, it was so great to see the choir vested and Sean, our Music Director, back with us sharing his talents on both organ and piano. Thank you to the Confirmation Class and Bryan Jones who provided breakfast in between the services, and to Carol Julien, our artist in residence, who opened our fall Church School program with beginning to create our mural in the Parish Hall. We will continue to work on this for the next couple of weeks so bring your ideas and creativity!
This week, we hope you will celebrate our Confirmation Class at the
10 AM service as they lead us in worship. Of course this will be followed by cake!
Thanks to Laura and Matt Moreau who have stepped up to lead the 2017 pledge drive this year. Please support this young couple as they take on this important task.
See you in church!
Ama Beth

There was standing room only at the kick-off of our Arts & Faith Church School! Under Carol Julien's guiding hand, our budding artists have started the mural for our Parish Hall. Anyone can join in on this project, so join us on Sunday at 10:00 AM. Washable, comfortable clothing and sneakers are recommended.

South Shore Deanery
A Conversation with South Shore Legislators
Creating Hopeful Communities on the South Shore
Encouraging Civic Engagement
We often hear so much about what is going wrong in the world that we often miss what is going well. And sometimes we forget we can make a difference.
The Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts South Shore congregations are invited to a fall deanery assembly for a conversation about positive progress, hopeful initiatives and other ways that we are making a difference in our communities. Bring a story to share about something your congregation is doing to create more hope filled towns in which we live.
We have invited legislators from the South Shore to hear what we are up to and then hear from them what positive plans they have for the South Shore, how they believe we can work together to address difficult topics and how they believe we can encourage more civic engagement for positive changes for the future.
Tuesday Oct. 4th, 2016
Trinity Church, Randolph
120 North Main St.
6:30 - 8:00 PM
Light refreshments will be served.
Please RSVP to your parish clergy.
