It is with great sadness to inform you
all that beloved church member, Marjorie Terzian,
passed away last Thursday. Her sister Rose said that no formal
services are being planned. There may, however, be a Memorial Tribute to
Marjorie planned as part of a Sunday Worship Service here at some time in the
weeks ahead. That information will be shared through email and the Sunday
Bulletin if and when that happens. In the meantime, if you would
like to send a card or note of condolence to the family, it can be sent to
Marjorie’s sister: Rose Winiewicz (please see printed First News for address) |

Our special offering for September will go to support
the Massachusetts Council of Churches. Today, the MCC is a council of seventeen
denominations, committed to expressing the unity of the church in Christ and
joining in common witness.
This organization is an ecumenical
partnership of 17 Orthodox and Protestant churches/denominations in the state
with approximately 1700 congregations.
Supported by the member denominations and investments, individual
churches and anyone interested in furthering the work of the Council are
encouraged to contribute. Please be as generous as you are able in this Special
Offering, which will be taken up on Sunday, September 18th.
Use your numbered envelope with proper
notation, or, if it is easier, you may send a check to the church.
Thank You!
