Prayer Requests
If you would like us to join in prayer for someone or if you
have a special need, thanksgiving or concern to be included
in Prayers of the People, bring your request before worship
to the sacristy (as you face the altar in the sanctuary, its
door is on the left). You may convey your request during the week to the Rev. Pamela Werntz on her voicemail: 617-536-3356 ext. 12 or email Werntz.Emmanuel@gmail.com. |

Coffee Hour
Several people are assigned to bring food each Sunday. Your
donation would not need to be homemade. Twenty cookies or slices
of coffee cake, a bowl of fruit, or cheese and crackers would
do. We drop off our donations in the kitchen before the service,
and the sexton does the rest. Please contact Barbara Oder or
Scott Hadfield if you could help. |

Green Team
We are responsible for the maintenance of our lovely garden. We welcome anyone who can help with weekly maintenance during the summer as well as spring and fall clean-up and planting. Please contact Nancy Mueller and see our webpage for more information. |

BPQ Chittick Residency
Founded in 2007, the Boston Public Quartet residency at the Chittick Elementary enrolls 36 students in an intensive lesson and chamber music program, aiming to add 12 new first graders per year. The BPQ mission is social change through chamber music. Johnson String Instrument of Newton has generously loaned instruments. The total cost per student is $1200 per year, and includes private lessons, chamber music, mentoring, parental support, musical workshops, and concert field trips. They have a 90% retention rate and a growing waiting list of 150 students. Please contact Betsy Hinkle for more information.

Project Bread's FoodSource Hotline
With the high cost of living in the Commonwealth and more
than 522,000 people across the state struggling to put food
on the table, chances are that a friend or neighbor of yours
is having difficulty making ends meet this winter. Project
Bread's FoodSource Hotline can help. It is the only comprehensive
information and referral service for the hungry in Massachusetts.
Counselors can provide information and screen callers for
food stamp eligibility, connect them to school meal programs,
and direct them to emergency food resources right in their
neighborhood. The calls are both personalized and confidential.
Extend your goodwill and reach out to those in need. A call
to Project Bread's FoodSource Hotline may be all it takes
to provide comfort to someone who is struggling. In response
to the increased demand for help, Project Bread's FoodSource
Hotline has extended its hours to: Monday-Friday 8:00 a.m.
- 7 p.m. and Saturday 10:00 a.m. - 2 p.m, 800-645-8333. |
