FRIENDLY SERVICE
Friendly Service meets once a month to work together on community and worldwide service projects. We make quilts for the homeless shelters in Stoughton and Brockton; collect warm clothing and personal items for Seafarer’s Friend in Chelsea; make school bags for Church World Service and fill them with donations of pencils, notebooks, crayons and more from our congregation. Though few in numbers our dedicated band of volunteers continue to enjoy our work days together. We would love to have more of you join us. Our work days begin at 10 am, we bring our own lunches, and continue working until 2 pm. You don’t have to stay the whole time, come for as long as your schedule allows. We now meet on the third Monday of each month in one of the downstairs rooms. If you are unable to meet at that time, we would be glad to have you take projects home to work on at your own pace. We organize quilt faces, pin the squares together, and you could sew the strips together at home. Or you could make school bags or fill the mending kits we make for Seafarer’s. We can provide all the needed materials, you provide your time to sit and finish the projects. If you have any questions, call Janet Clough at 781-344-3860 or come to our first meeting on Monday, September 17 Lunch with the Pastor Please join Pastor Mary in the Fireplace Room at 11:45 AM on Thursday, October 4. Bring a brown bag lunch and she will provide beverages and dessert. This is a nice way to share what’s going on in our lives. Bring a friend! All are welcome. Trunk or Treat While you are out trick or treating, stop by the church as we host our 6th annual Trunk or Treat with cars decorated for Halloween and plenty of candy treats - just the right size for little feet. All are welcome. This event provides a safe family environment for trick or treaters and is a wonderful opportunity for community outreach and to greet our neighbors. We would love to have more cars participating this year! Please let us know if you want to be part of the fun. This event provides a safe family environment for trick or treating and is a wonderful opportunity for community outreach and to meet our neighbors. Trunk or Treat runs from 5 – 7 PM on October 31 so there is plenty of time for you to head out to your Halloween parties later that evening. So get those ideas and your creativity flowing! Gallon milk jugs are needed to make lanterns to illuminate the stone wall and walkway. Please clean out your clear gallon milk jugs and bring them to church. We support the Teal Pumpkin Project that helps make Halloween safe for kids with food allergies so that all children come home on Halloween night with something they can enjoy. Please contact Marcia Olson baglole.olson@verizon.net 781-344-9547 for more information or sign up to help.
