ARE YOU LOOKING for a way to share your holiday spirit with others? The Community Café has asked us to help with a Christmas Eve buffet supper from 4:30–6:30 and we need servers and dishwashers—no cooking required. It will only take a few hours out of your schedule but will be greatly appreciated. Please contact me at 978.369.8419 if you are available. Thanks, Barbara King

THE BULLETIN DEADLINE will be Wednesday at 9:00 a.m. next week.

YEAR-END COMMUNION this Friday. We will enjoy an Agape supper at 6:30 p.m. (bring sweet or savory breads, spreads, crackers, cheeses, dried or fresh fruit ready to eat or add to a fruit salad, nuts, etc.) and then celebrate the ordinance of service. Via satellite we will join with churches from all over North America in the live service led by Elder Don Schneider at 8:00 p.m.
