Lighting a Candle for Peace
As a practice of mindfulness and prayer for a peaceful, non-violent
resolution to the conflict that permeates our world today, please light
a candle in a window of your home. The candle is intended to be a visible
symbol of our hope for peace, our love for our nation, our compassion for
the victims, and our commitment to being faithful disciples in difficult
times. Let us light the candle daily as long as the current conflict persists. |
Lexington
Food Pantry
Your Opportunity to Volunteer!
For eleven years members of the congregation have participated with individuals
of other faiths at the Lexington Food Pantry. Our assignment is to help
set up and distribute food on the fourth Saturday of each month in this
immediate effort to make a difference. Four volunteer workers
are needed for each month. The sign-up sheet is on the Outreach Bulletin
Board, or you may call Ione Garing at 781-862-7592, or email her at idgaring@gis.net
. Two hours of your time on a Saturday morning will be well spent in this
ongoing Outreach of our Church. More details about the history of
this ministry are given on the Ongoing
Outreach page. |
