SMALL GROUPS 

For each Lenten Sunday, the sermon will explore his words from the Sermon on the Mount on a particular theme or topic. On the Monday evening following the sermon, a "Learning in the Living Room" gathering will take place in the home of Hancock member.

At these events, discussions or activities will allow us to explore the themes in more detail. Paul, Dana, Pam, Alex, Becca and Nancy will all be involved in leading these events.

You may come to one, or to them all, or just to the ones that you choose. We hope to see you in Lent!

ANNOUNCEMENTS

Born and raised in Massachusetts, Krystal graduated from Norwood High School in 2003. Never straying too far from her home town, she went on to study Fine Arts at The Art Institute of Boston. While Krystal continues to have a deep love of the art world, her focus has gone from paint to mixed media.  

She participates in craft shows year-round, displaying a variety of handmade jewelry as well as more experimental pieces. Her most fun projects to work on are faux paper mache taxidermy, although her home has a surprising amount of real, vintage taxidermy, thanks to her antique collecting boyfriend, whom she shares a home with in Medford.

In 2012 Krystal gained a new family member, a very tiny, very energetic, very stubborn French Bulldog. Rufus, named after one of Krystal's favorite composers, Rufus Wainwright...read the rest on our website!

Please stop by the Church Office and introduce yourself! 

The Restructuring for Mission team needs your help understanding where our system of committees at Hancock works well and where there's room for improvement.

Whether or not you've ever served on a committee, please take our on-line survey .We need the benefit of your experience and ideas. It only takes 5-10 minutes, and it's anonymous if you wish it to be. We will also have paper versions of the survey available at coffee hour this Sunday. If you have questions, contact Bill McClements at billmcclements@gmail.com.

Thank you!

Hello friends,

The elevator pit has been dug out, rebar has been installed, and the concrete floor is in place. The water main and steam pipes have been moved out of the shaft area to their new locations.

Electricians have been working on the new fire alarm system and running new wiring throughout the building. The kitchen is coming along as it's about 80% done with the drywall installation. The electrical transformer pad has been set outside. We are waiting on Nstar to do the electrical transfer to the new service.

Thank you

IN MEMORIUM
