Announcements

We regularly collect toothbrushes, travel-size soaps, shampoos, conditioners, toothpaste, diapers (including adult sizes), etc., for the residents of Father Bill’s / MainSpring House. Special requests: adult-size shower shoes, combs, hair brushes and feminine care products.
CommUnity Closet We are accepting warmer weather (Spring and Summer) items for people of all ages. Especially needed: men’s clothing, new socks, underwear, women’s sanitary products, and reading glasses. Please contact Jim Mullin if you’re interested in volunteering.
Our April Social Justice Brown Envelopes will support the volunteer work of this summer’s Nicaragua Service Trip. While participants will cover their travel and local expenses, we hope to raise a portion of the $2500 needed for materials to help build a house in Chacraseca.
Not Just Another Coffeehouse At 7pm Sat. Apr. 21, The Boxcar Lilies return, offering spine-tingling three-part harmony, unique songwriting and a mix of folk, country, blues, and bluegrass-tinged Americana music. Buy homemade desserts/Fair Trade beverages. $15 or what you can afford (not profit-making).
Apr 22 10am and 10:30am Beauty as well as bread John Muir once said, “Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where Nature may heal and cheer and give strength to body and soul alike.” On Earth Day, we consider our alienation from nature and the importance of restoring that connection.
Art from the Heart On Apr. 28 at 7pm, come to the Vestry for an evening of fun, creativity and community. We will provide artistic media for art without right or wrong, good or bad, better or worse—it’s art for everyone to enjoy. We hope to see you there!
Apr 29 10am and 10:30am Senior Youth Group Service We will hear about the group’s activities and unique perspectives.
Book Group In Elizabeth Strout’s Anything Can Happen, a cast of small-town characters copes with love and loss. Join us in the library on May 2 at 7pm, even if you haven’t finished the book.
Conversations at the Meetinghouse How Refugees are Transforming the Middle East. On May 4 at 7pm Stuart Sears, PhD, returns to discuss current Middle East crises and their impact on the plight of refugees. Potluck dinner at 6pm. Free and open to the public. (Postponed from January)
Movie Night Join us Fri., May 11 to view 2017’s The Circle, in which a woman lands a dream job at a powerful tech company called the Circle, only to uncover an agenda that will affect the lives of all of humanity. The popcorn is free and the post-film discussion is lively.
Book Group Weds, June 6, 7pm – In Camron Wright’s The Rent Collector, Ki Lim and Sang Ly survive by scavenging recyclables from Cambodia’s largest municipal dump, worrying about their chronically ill child. A secret about the bad-tempered rent collector sets in motion a tide that changes everyone’s lives. Come even if you haven’t finished the book.
This year’s Boston Pride Parade will be on Sat. June 9. We’ll ride the train to Boston to participate in the Pride Service at Arlington Street Church (ACS), and then march with the folks from ASC or watch the parade. We won’t have our own spot due to long wait times. Celebrate and return home as you choose.
Let’s Laugh Today Join us on the second Saturday of each month from 11am-12pm. Bring water to drink and a donation (non-perishable food for the Sharon-Stoughton Food Pantry or travel-size toiletries for Father Bill’s / MainSpring House).
**PEANUT-FREE** Lunchmaking for MainSpring House All ages are welcome to help make the 100 peanut-free lunches we donate once each month. Remember to bring personal-size items like shampoo, soap, etc., to be delivered with the lunches. See special request notice for additional items.
Recycling Opportunity Do you have gift cards that can’t be reloaded or expired credit cards you’ve sliced up? Our Social Justice Committee has found a recycler who will accept them. Bring them to the Social Justice table on Sundays.
Meditation and Study Group NEW TIME We meet from 7pm – 8pm on Tuesdays, alternating personal seated meditation with other methods. Instruction is available and the group is always open to new participants.
Book Group meets in the library at 7pm on the first Wednesday of most months from September through June. You are welcome to join us, even if you haven’t finished reading the book. See details elsewhere in this scroll.
Shopping for Justice We purchase grocery cards at a discount and sell them at face value. The difference helps to fund our Social Justice work. Cards for Big Y, Shaw’s and Stop & Shop are available during coffee hour.
Art from the Heart On the last Friday of most months, come to the Vestry for an evening of fun, creativity and community. We will provide a variety of of artistic media for art without right or wrong, good or bad, better or worse—it’s art for everyone to enjoy. Hope to see you there!
We support the Ilsa Marks Sharon-Stoughton Food Pantry year-round (and are among the few organizations that do so). The need has continued to grow. Please leave your donations of non-perishable food in the entryway.
Movie Night Join us at 7pm on the 2nd Friday of each month from September through June. Enjoy the movie, lively discussion and free popcorn.
Need a Gift? Depending on store policy, you may be able to use Shopping for Justice grocery cards to purchase other types of gifts cards (e.g., for restaurants, department or home improvement stores, or online music vendors), thus extending our Social Justice programs.
Not Just Another Coffeehouse Join us at 7pm each third Saturday through June for music, snacks and Fair Trade coffee/tea. Not a profit-making enterprise. See details elsewhere in this scroll. (Occasionally it’s on a different weekend.)
Conversations at the Meetinghouse Join us at 7pm each first Friday Oct. through June for a presentation and discussion about a topic of interest.
