A LETTER FROM GRACE - STREET MINISTRY
Dear Congregation of First Universalist of Yarmouth,
As a loyal supporter of Grace - Street Ministry we want to thank you again for your help and keep you aware of an upcoming transition in the ministry. As of June 2017, I will be retiring from the work on the street but will be remaining the director of GSM.
Rev. Nancy White, an ordained UCC minister will be taking over my street hours, working part time with GSM. Pastor Jeff Logan and Pastor Bob Ross will also be continuing their part time work on the streets and in the downtown shelters.
To me, GSM has been a small vessel that has sailed through the often choppy waters these past eleven years, helping thousands, looking for Truth and loving without judgment. Through the work, we have tried to recognize the inherent dignity of those we have met, who often do not see their own value. We have offered hope in small but essential acts of kindness. We have done the hard, transforming work of love.
Clarity and joy to all of us,
Rev. Mair Honan

There are many special reasons to be at worship this week: it's Flower Communion, Member Recognition Sunday, the Annual Meeting after worship, and Rev. Jennifer's final Sunday before her sabbatical.
Do you have a few flowers from your garden who you just know belong in the spotlight? Your beautiful blooms are welcome to participate in LoveFest!
Have too much stuff? How about de-cluttering, having fun,
and supporting First U all at once?
Great! Join our Choir. We are open to amateurs and the musically trained alike and would love new members. Rehearsals are every Thursday from 6:30 - 8 pm. No auditions required! Join us.
