Church Council, Saturday Worship, Bible Study and Mission

We will be holding our next Church Council meeting on Saturday, November 6 at 9:30am. We will be planning activities for Advent, reviewing our Lay Leadership Committee for next year, and planning our landscaping and new sign installation project.

We will be having worship on Saturday at 4pm. If you are looking for an alternative to Sunday morning, we encourage you to check out this service! If 4pm on Saturday doesn't work for you, but you are interested in alternative worship times, please contact the church at 978-465-5145 or respond to this post and let us know what you'd prefer.

We have started a new Bible Study, which will meet monthly on the last Tuesday of the month. We meet at LeeAnn's, 4 Goodwin Ave, at 7pm. This group is ideal for those who are new to Bible Study or folks who are looking for a less frequent commitment. Due to Thanksgiving, the next meeting will be November 18. In addition to this group, the regular Wednesday evening study continues to meet each week at 7pm on Parker Ridge Road.

We are continuing to collect school supplies for our "School Bags for Africa" project. If you have pencils, notebooks, construction paper, metric rulers, pink erasers or pencil sharpeners to donate, please call the church.
