Register for the UCC Women’s Retreat
This year’s topic, “Exploring Your Pathway to God”, will be led by Pastor Karen and Heidi Willson. It promises to be a learning experience and an opportunity to grow and share our faithful pathways with each other. Retreat starts at 6:00 PM, Friday, March 9 and concludes with morning worship on Sunday, March 11. We are returning to the Sacred Heart Retreat Center in Wareham, MA and will once again have private use of the center. Contact any member of the planning team if you have questions: Pastor Karen, Heidi Willson, Donna Matson or Wendy Cohen. Please download the reservation form found on the UCC Women’s page under “Ministries” and return by February 12th. We hope to see YOU there!
Soup To Go Volunteers Needed
STG currently has two ministries; The Street Team serves the homeless of Boston near South Station and Boston Common on the 2nd Saturday of each month. We gather at church at 5:30 PM and carpool in to deliver bottled drinks, packaged snacks, underwear, toiletries, blankets and sweatshirts and return about 8:30 PM. We will be going in on February 11 and March 10. The Shelter Team partners with the “Friends of Boston Homeless” to provide hardy meals to serve at the Woods Mullen and Long Island Shelters in Boston. In February we are scheduled to prepare and serve lunch at the Woods Mullen shelter on the 4th and the 25th. Our March dates are the 3rd and 17th. Sign up sheets for cooking (lunch) at 7:30 AM (5 cooks age 10 and up) or delivering and serving from 9:30-1:00 (6 people, middle school w/parent) are in the narthex. We’re also collecting men’s and women’s briefs, dark colored sweatshirts, gently used seasonal items, new shoes and sneakers (size 9 1/2 and 10 1/2), and travel sized toiletries. Donations may be left in the baskets in the narthex.

Take Heart - Divorce and Separation Support Group
This free support group provides healing and hope for adults who are divorced or separated.
During these difficult and painful life experiences, it’s helpful to know that you’re not alone as well as to have the opportunity to share what you’re going through with people who understand.
Meetings are interactive discussions. Everyone provides and receives mutual support. Topics cover a wide range of issues, from challenges and helpful resources to feelings and faith.
Take Heart meetings take place at The United Church of Christ in Medfield, located at 496 Main Street, next to Bank of America.
