Sunday

June 15th

We are starting the longest church season on our calendar. It is called “Ordinary Time.” As far as I can tell, there is never anything ordinary happening when Jesus is involved.

For the next three Sundays, we are going to hear more about what happened to the first disciples turned apostles.

The word apostle means “one who is sent out.” The 12 disciples were the first ones to be commissioned by Jesus to go out into the world to teach and baptize.

We do not have great biographical information about the disciples. We know their names and what their professions were. We know they struggled and often had a hard time understanding what Jesus was teaching them. And just before Jesus ascended to heaven, he handed them the ministry he started. We don’t have all the details, but we know they managed. Otherwise we would not be here.

I will be offering these three sermons in the form of a biography/spiritual reflection/spiritual journey of Matthew, John, and Paul.

Curious? Well, please join us in person or via Facebook livestream.

Summer Worship starts at 9:30 am!

Deepest Condolences

It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Cymbrid Fogg on June 6th, 2025. Our condolences go out to Claudia, his wife, and his sons Cymbrid Jr. and Clifford and their families.

Calling hours will be held on June 19, 2025 at Dockray and Thomas Funeral Home from 4pm to 7pm.

We will remember and celebrate his life on Friday, June 20, 2025 at 2 pm in our sanctuary with a reception to follow.

Flower Chart

We are reinstating the Flower Chart. If you would like to bring in flowers for the altar on a particular Sunday, please fill out the chart located on the wall just outside the copy room and admin office.

If you plan to have flowers delivered to the church for a Sunday Service please use the florist Judy's Village Flowers in Foxboro, MA. Their phone number is 508-543-4400. If you do not want to use Judy's Village Flowers in Foxboro, then you will be responsible for bringing the flowers yourself on Sunday Morning before the service.
