SPOTLIGHT 

Rev. Dana Allen Walsh has been called as the next Senior Minister of South Church in Andover, MA. It's a large, vibrant, Open & Affirming, justice-focused congregation. After 303 years of ministry, she will be their first female senior minister!

Dana's last Sunday will be June 1st. The official letters of Dana's Departure from Dana, Paul, and the moderators are available online. If you would like hardcopies mailed to you, please call Jane Park at the Church Office (781) 862-4220.

After Dana Allen Walsh departs for her new call on June 1st, we'll be entering an interim period of perhaps 9-15 months as we conduct a national search for our new Minister. Just to clear up any confusion, we've created a schedule of Interim Plans and Ministerial Duties. Please contact Paul or Dana (or anyone on staff) if you have any concerns, feedback, or insight. 

Due to complicating factors related to Patriot's Day activities on Battle Green, the staff has decided to forgo evening Worship @the Well on Easter. Travel and parking on Massachusetts Avenue will be compromised on Sunday evening; in addition to Easter weekend marks the beginning of spring vacation week.    

The heart of Christian Faith is experienced in compressed fashion during the seasons of Lent and Easter. During Lent we rmember the life and teachings of Jesus, and Easter is the culmination of God's work in and through his death and resurrection. We hope that you will join us often for the 8 days between Palm Sunday and Easter.

"If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together." So says an African proverb, which best describes Interfaith Garden. Since 2010, the garden has:

• Provided fresh produce to Lexington Food Pantry and relief programs
• Educated volunteers and the community on the value of local, sustainable farming
• Built relationships across Lexington's interfaith communities

Last Saturday, volunteers from Hancock, Church of Our Redeemer and First Baptist prepped half the garden and sowed early-season seeds. Hancock gardeners will join volunteers from Church of Our Redeemer and St. Nicholas on Tuesday, April 15 (4:30 to 6 pm), to pick up where others left off! To volunteer or for questions about the garden, contact Laurel Cooley at cooley.laurel1@gmail.com. Also follow garden news at interfaithgarden.org. 

This year, as in the past, Harriet Chmela and Faith Fenske will walk the 20 miles on Good Friday, raising money for food cooperatives, day care centers, scholarships, and other needs of the children of poverty. Faith and Harriet will be happy to take pledges of support at coffee hour up to Good Friday. Go here for more details.
