If you haven't pledged yet, JOIN US, as we commit to being a church that expands God's work at UCC Medfield, the surrounding community and the world. A formal commitment allows your ministry teams to better plan the year. For those who were not able to make a pledge last week, there is still time. Pledge cards and the “A” and “B” boxes are set up in the Lobby, or contact Jean Mineo if you'd like one mailed to you. Service Opportunities at UCC Medfield Whether it's joining a small group, helping in the kitchen with hospitality, or greeting people at the front door, we want UCC Medfield to be a place where people are using their time and talents to connect to God's purposes. Take some time to browse some of the ways you can get involved, or contact Pastor Karen for more information. Our Greeting Ministry and Fellowship Team, in particular, are actively looking for volunteers to help out on Sundays. Joining a ministry is also one of the best ways to get to know people and get plugged into our community.
