A lot of people in town walk Main Street. If anyone at anytime would like to share a prayer, they can now do so. There is the option of keeping the prayer private or the prayer can be shared with others during our Sunday worship. The public prayers will be collected on Sunday mornings.

​Please share the news.

The church is collecting food as part of the national food drive sponsored by the US Postal workers. Non-perishable food items will be accepted through Sunday, May 3rd.
As prices continue to climb and services for the poor continue to be slashed, a record 40% of Massachusetts households are now reporting food insecurity. This means 1.12 million Massachusetts household did not have reliable access to food last year, a rate that's up 37% from 2024. This is our current reality. Let us live into our faith by sharing with those who are suffering. (Matthew 25:37, 40)
