"Parent-free Coffee Hour" planned for
this Sunday, October 14
This Sunday, October 14 we are planning a "Parent-free Coffee Hour."
All the children will go to Coffee Hour without their parents. Yikes! Who is going to make sure they don't become a band of pirates set out to destroy the church or worse eat too many Dunkin Donuts munchkins! Well...all of our members without children will be keeping a watchful eye and hopefully even take the time to play with them.
The parents will be invited to the Bramhall Room for a session on Christian parenting with Cheryl and Paul.
When a child is baptized the congregation stands and promises to support him or her in their walk with Christ. This is an opportunity to put the promise into action! Parent free coffee hours will be held about every other month throughout the year.

Heads Up: Germaine Lawrence announced merger with Youth Villages
Effective Sept. 1, 2012, Germaine Lawrence merged with Youth Villages, a leading nonprofit in the field of children's mental and behavioral health, both nationally and in Massachusetts. Germaine Lawrence is now theYouth Villages-Germaine Lawrence Campus.
While the name has changed, their commitment to providing the highest-quality programs remains the same. The merger is providing more options for troubled girls in Massachusetts. This is a positive change for Germaine Lawrence and, most importantly, for the girls they serve.
By bringing together two like-minded organizations that share the mission to provide the very best and most appropriate services to children with emotional and behavioral issues, they will be adding significant capacity to help even more Massachusetts children and families. Together, they will be able to serve more than 1,000 children annually in the coming years.
We will have Pam Nourse speak with us on Sunday, November 18 and she will talk of the changes and we'll have our Christmas Gift Ingathering on Sunday, December 2. The bottom line is that the girls still need our help, either with gifts or volunteering of time, etc.
