The events of the last year have reinforced the need of people near and far to be embraced, encouraged, empowered by Jesus’ love. UCC Medfield is responding by seeing each person through God’s eyes and serving each person as Jesus’ hands. We are deepening our support to our local community and commitment to serve the most vulnerable throughout the world. Here are some opportunities where you can be involved!
