Service: Palm Sunday: Beyond the Collection Plate
Stewardship Sunday
Rev. Hank Peirce
11 am, Sanctuary
The Christian tradition informs us that the people of Jerusalem laid down leaves of the palm tree when Jesus entered Jerusalem as a sign of goodwill and appreciation. Today we celebrate the life we have together and the many gifts that we receive from our community, and kick off our annual canvass.

Gentlemen start your griddles! It has been the tradition in this church that the men of the congregation serve a pancake breakfast to the rest of the church on Easter morning. Tickets are $3 per-person, $5 per-couple, and $10 per-family. Tickets will be sold in advance as well as at the door.

Service: Easter Sunday: The Way
An Intergenerational Service
Rev. Hank Peirce
11 am, Sanctuary
Being a Unitarian Universalist means that we don’t have a doctrine to believe in, but we are called to live out the values that we hold. This is The Way, it is not always easy but the reward will save the world.
    This is Hank’s last Sunday before his Sabbatical. Let’s all turn out and see him off in style.

Service: Sabbatical Kick-Off
Rev. John Buehrens

I hope you are all able to come and hear Rev. Buehrens speak; John is the minister of the First Parish Church in Needham and past president of the Unitarian Universalist Association.
