ANNOUNCEMENTS

Our CHALICE Social Justice Committee on Preventing Gun Violence is excited to host Outreach Sunday.  On Sunday, March 26 the service will feature a speaker from Stop Handgun Violence. Zoe Grover is the Executive Director of SHV, a Boston-based non-profit organization founded in 1994. SHV works to prevent firearm violence through public awareness, education, policy advocacy and law enforcement strategies without banning guns. For more information on SHV, please click here. The Outreach Sunday offering will benefit SHV.  After the service, Zoe Grover will lead a Q&A session in the Meetinghouse for our congregation and wider community.   Please join us for this very informative Q&A session and learn some things about guns and preventing injuries that you didn’t know.   Coffee Hour will follow in the Parish Hall.  Please consider wearing o range to symbolize the hope for freedom from gun violence.

On Sunday, March 26 in the Parish Hall, FPNUU, in collaboration with SURJ (Showing Up For Racial Justice), SSA (South Shore Action) and Action Together Southeastern MA, will be presenting " Action Expo: Taking Action Together for Racial Justice".
Join us for all or part of the afternoon:
2:45 - Action Expo opens
3:15 - Viewing of " 13th ", a documentary that  explores the intersection of race, justice and mass incarceration in the United States.
5:00 - Racial Justice presentation and discussion with Deacon Chris McWhite of Messiah American Baptist Church
6:00 -  Action Expo reopens
The event is free, but please register here as space is limited.  Be inspired, be informed, and meet others who share your commitment!

The Alliance and 375th Committee invite you to meet “A Visitor from Plimoth Plantation, 1624”. Learn what life was like for a woman in early 17th century Massachusetts, a lifestyle shared by the founding women of our church.   This event will take place on Wednesday, March 29 at 10 am in the Parish Hall. Refreshments will be served - all are welcome!
