1. WEDNESDAY MORNING COFFEE: Every Wednesday, at 10 am. Come and catch up on the news, be a taste tester of the baking and have many laughs. Everyone is welcome.
2. PLEASE CONSIDER SIGNING UP TO GREET on a Sunday morning on the clipboard at the rear of the church. You are helping to make our congregation feel welcome to our worship service. Thank you.
3. PASTORAL CARE - Each one of us in the Dorchester UC Community of Faith plays an important role in "caring" for members of our church family. This fall, the Visioning Working Group identified this ministry as a priority and a team consisting of Carol Reid, Coleen Mason, Tabitha Carey and Gabrielle Heidinger is currently working on refining the process. A phone call, a cheery card, or a short visit all help to brighten someone's day, knowing someone cares about them. If you know of someone who would benefit from such contact, please connect with them and then let either Carol, Coleen or Tabitha know. For situations that require Ministerial Pastoral Care, this team will connect with Gabrielle. We appreciate your support.
4. PLEASE SPEAK WITH GABRIELLE OR JANET PATERSON if you wish to renew your Profession of Faith on Membership Sunday.
