Digital Bulletin

We send the link to the bulletin in our weekly email newsletter. If you are visiting the church and don't have a smart phone or don't feel like you can manage this on your own, ask one of the Greeters at the church to check out a tablet to use during the service. You can also print the bulletin directly from the link to bring with you, if you prefer!

Announcements

We worship at 10am on Sunday, online and in-person, with Sunday School for all ages at 9am.

The Widows Support Group invites you to participate in our Poinsettia Project for Christmas this year! Please bring a potted poinsettia to church any time after Thanksgiving and set it on the altar steps in the sanctuary for all to enjoy through the Christmas season. There will be plastic card holders and cards to write the name of the loved one(s) you are missing this season on the table by the door. The Widows Support Group will take care of watering all the plants.  Please make sure there is a container underneath your flowers. You are welcome to take your Poinsettia home after the Christmas Eve services. If you do not want them or are out of town for Christmas, Men's Group volunteers will take the remaining Poinsettias to assisted living or nursing homes. If you have any questions concerning this project, email the Widows Support Group at widows@mayflowerucc.org.
Join Martha Circle Tuesday, December 3rd at 6:30pm for their annual 'Dirty Santa" gift exchange. Please bring an anonymous wrapped gift with the value limit of  $5. As always, bring a potluck dish to share (no desserts, please), your beverage of choice, and $1 for the collection. We look forward to seeing everyone, including any first-time faces that may be interested in checking out the fun.

WEBS new book is: "Life After Doom: Wisdom and Courage for a World Falling Apart" by Brian McLaren

Join WEBS for engaging discussion online and in person on Wednesdays at 5:30pm beginning Oct. 9th as they explore Life After Doom: Wisdom and Courage for a World Falling Apart by Brian McLaren.

The Separation of Church and State: Writings on a Fundamental Freedom by America's Founders by Forrest ChurchMcLaren defines doom as the "un-peaceful, uneasy, unwanted feeling" that "we humans have made a mess of our civilization and our planet, and not enough of us seem to care enough to change deeply enough or quickly enough to save ourselves."

Blending insights from philosophers, poets, scientists, and theologians, Life After Doom explores the complexity of hope, the necessity of grief, and the need for new ways of thinking, becoming, and belonging in turbulent times. If you want to help yourself, your family, and the communities to which you belong to find courage and resilience for the deeply challenging times that are upon us - this is the book you need right now.
