ANNOUNCEMENTS

The next meeting of the Invested Funds Committee will be Wednesday, May 30 at 7 pm in the Church Office. All are welcome.

The First Parish Golf Tournament will be Saturday, June 2, 12:30 pm at at Squirrel Run in Plymouth. This is a great time. We play best ball, where four players hit from the tee, select the best shot and all hit their next ball from there. It is great for those who want to try golf…a fun way of doing it. After the (par 57) game, we all go back to First Parish to meet non-players for a fantastic barbecue of steak or swordfish BYOB – bring your own beverage. Not a golfer? Become a hole sponsor for $50 per hole. Sign up with Peter Fairbanks, John Meddaugh, Don Messinger or Deane Howard.  

You are invited to join our 2-day-only Multigenerational Choir! The commitment is only 2 DAYS! We will rehearse right after Church School, on Sunday, June 3 around 11:15-11:30. Our final rehearsal will be held at 9:15 before church on June 10, which is the morning we will perform our music for our Multigenerational RE Service. Please speak to Music Director, Gingy Grimes, or Marie Miller, Music Committee Chair, if you are interested in participating in this Multigenerational Choir, which will be accompanied by our Hand Chime Choir. 

Next Sunday, June 3, we will have our annual Flower Communion Service. Please remember to bring flowers, greenery or twigs to share as a sign of our religious diversity and inclusivity. 

Our next community dinner will be on Wednesday, June 13, from 5:00 to 6:15 pm. You are invited to attend and enjoy dinner with friends and neighbors. You are also welcome to participate by: attending yourself and making our guests feel welcome, inviting your friends and neighbors to attend, or bringing people who wouldn't otherwise be able to attend. This is part of our CHALICE outreach and many of us want to host a dinner like this on a monthly basis and our guests would like to come on a monthly basis. We are seeking a pool of volunteers who can sometimes work on a team to put on the dinner. Most jobs don’t include cooking, and some can be done ahead. If you have questions or want to sign up, please contact Jack Wallace, Marcia Babcock, Betsey Drollett, Gabe Millins or Deborah Chase.

The 2018 Annual Report is ready! We’re encouraging people to go paperless and download it from our website here (just scroll down the page a bit). I f you prefer, email Hope in the Church Office and she will email you a pdf. Paper copies are also available on the Welcome Table located outside the Parish Hall. Please take only one copy per household, and bring it with you to the Annual Meeting next Sunday, June 3 at 11:30 am in the Meetinghouse.
