Special Services

Homecoming Sunday: On September 7, 2008, we return to our schedule of two services – the traditional worship service at 9:30 in the Sanctuary and the contemporary praise worship service at 11:00 in the Great Room. Sunday School for Pre-K (3 and 4 year olds) through fifth grade begins on Homecoming Sunday. Sunday School is offered at both services – traditional Sunday School at the 9:30 service and a multi-age class at the praise service. The nursery is staffed for both services.

Heifer Sunday: On October 26, 2008, our Fellowship Hall is transformed into a Living Gift Market in support of Heifer International (HI). Throughout the month of October the children will be learning about HI and how the organization transforms the lives of needy people around the world. Each class will study a specific animal and will make headdresses to wear at their tables that day. This is an important stewardship for our children.

Medfield Interfaith Thanksgiving Service: will be held on Tuesday, November 25, 2008 at 7:00 PM (tentative), at First Parish Unitarian Universalist Church, 26 North St., Medfield. Representatives from all the churches in Medfield, as well as Temple Beth David in Westwood, will take part in the service. We hope you'll take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to thank God in the context of the larger Medfield community.
