Build a Shed Fundraiser: Do you (or your neighbor) need a new shed this spring/summer? Members of our church are willing to build a timber frame shed with some of the proceeds benefiting the church. The cost will include custom design, materials, delivery, and installation. An example of a 10x12 shed being used by our Thrift Shop can be seen at Riley Hall. For additional design ideas visit Hanover Timber Frame Sheds on Facebook. Please contact Bob Meader (781) 871-5649 to make arrangements or for more information.
CHURCH YARD SALE, Saturday, April 13: Let your family and friends know that we are planning for a yard sale on the second Saturday in April. We’re accepting gently used household items and clothing. **No electronics or heavy furniture.** Drop off upstairs in Riley Hall Tue/Thu 9-1 or Wed/Sat 10-2. We’re looking for volunteers to help and bakers to bake! Contact Adrianne Rafferty at adrraf@verizon.net.
GOODS AND SERVICES AUCTION, Friday May 3: Get ready for a night of fun, fellowship, and fundraising coming up in just a few weeks as our Goods and Services Auction gets underway at Riley Hall. Bidding will begin at 7:00 p.m., with a preview opportunity for viewing items and munching on pot-luck desserts and snacks before the donated services and goods go up for sale. ease consider what you might offer to be auctioned. Do you have a particular item that you’d be willing to donate? Terrific! Or would you be willing to offer a “service?” Planning and preparing this event requires a team of volunteers. Please contact Ava Sigsby 781-826-3912, ats@sigscom.com or Priscilla Cedrone, pecedrone@verizon.net.
JOYS and CONCERNS: Please email the church office with your life changes so that we can lift you up in prayer.
