Sunday

October 11, 2026

This Sunday we are talking about the last five commandments that speak directly to interpersonal relationships and what it takes to live well together in community. That the “thing” it takes to do that are boundaries.

We think of boundaries as limitations. They get in the way of (our) freedom. They tell us what we cannot do. Simply stated, we don’t like boundaries for their restrictiveness. We just don’t like being told what we can and cannot do.

But if we think about it, we need boundaries. We need them to live healthy lives. And we set them all the time when it comes to how we spend our time, money, who we want to be in a relationship with. We set boundaries about what is acceptable behavior and what is not. We set boundaries for our kids so they can experience a healthy and good life.

The more I study the 10 Cs I have come to appreciate them as God’s desire for us to protect our human relationships, to promote a just society, and a path to a healthy relationship with God. They are given to us by God out of God’s love for us. And quite frankly, I can accept boundaries that are given out of love.

Join us for worship, in person or on Facebook Live at 10 am.

If you need someone to pick up, please call Susanne Mullin 508-494-2403. Donations of Jewelry for the vintage Jewelry table may be left in the office for Carolyn Weeks. Everyone’s help in making the 81st Bazaar successful is greatly appreciated.

CALLING ALL SINGERS!

The Music Committee would like to reach out to all of you singers, whether you are currently in the Choir, are a former Choir Member, a Jump-In Choir participant, a Choir Wannabee, or a singer-in-the-shower.

WE NEED YOU for our Very Special Christmas Eve Celebration! Christmas is not that far away, and plans are in the works to make this Worship Service one to remember.

Every year, we have a wonderful and peaceful celebration for the whole family, and this year will be no exception. We will need, however, all of you with a singing voice to truly make it awesome.

As of right now, the Service is scheduled for 4pm on December 24th, which should be a convenient time on what can be a busy night. Some of the material will be familiar, and a couple of practices will help to shake off the cobwebs. Eleven-thirty on Sunday mornings is our Choir practice time.

Please consider helping us out. If you have thought of singing with our Choir-- even temporarily-- now is the time.

Feel free to contact myself, Choir Director Joan Miller, or any member of the Choir with any questions.

Thanks,

Bob MacKenzie

On behalf of the Music Committee

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.
