Thank you from Suzanne Steele
Dear Hancock Family,
My May 8th hip revision surgery was successful, and I am now recuperating. I wanted to let everyone know how much I appreciate everyone's thoughts and prayers to me on the road to recovery. A big thank you for the hospital visits, flowers, help with rehab, and the prayer shawl. Having the prayer shawl was like the church wrapping their arms around me. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers, and I hope to join you on Sundays again.
Love,
Suzanne Steele

Hancock Carillon sends 14 Representatives to NH Festival
If you've come by the church building recently, you may have noticed a surprisingly empty Bells Room over the weekend! Hancock Carillon sent 14 musicians to the Area I Handbell Festival/Conference, which includes all of New England and the Canadian Maritime provinces. They attended with 650 other ringers, through rain and humidity. Some highlights of the Festival included hearing and working in clinics with the Raleigh Ringers from Raleigh, North Carolina, and performing a concert ready piece after only 3 days of rehearsal! Bravo Hancock Carillon!
Hancock has an extensive Bells program including the Hancock Carillon, the Morning Glories, Marting to Glory, and the Junior Handbell Choir. If you'd like more information about joining next season, please contact Cheryl Kraley or Marilyn Becker at handbells@hancockchurch.org. |

What's Up At Interfaith Garden?
Hancock works along with 12 other faith communities at a local garden growing produce that goes to the Lexington Food Pantry. There's more than just healthy food being nurtured! Camaraderie, fun chit chat and a sense of accomplishment flourishes as well.
On a recent Saturday we harvested 13 different varieties of produce, totaling over 40 pounds, and it was delivered to the pantry within an hour of picking. Come check us out! Invite a friend or family member. Hancock next sends volunteers 8 to 9:30am on the Saturdays of Jul 20th, 27th and Aug 17th. For more info or to sign up to volunteer, contact Amy Swanson,
