PARTY & DANCE – MAY 8
It’s time to party! Save Saturday, May 8 at 7 PM and show up in Unity Hall with your party face and dancing shoes on. If you don’t dance, come to enjoy Sten Gustavson and his band play popular favorites and spend time socializing with your church friends…and invite your non-church friends too. This is an adults-only party and costs $5 per person.

ABBY’S HOUSE – DONATIONS
Thank you to all who have so generously donated items to Abby’s House as a gift to the church.

CHURCH HISTORY PANELS
Be sure to view the church’s famous history panels which are set up in the dining room area. A new 13th panel has been added to bring the church history up to date. Look for the letter from the White House! The panels give a unique visual history beginning in 1785…of our church, of Worcester and of some national history as well. Bill Densmore was the chief organizer of this project. Enjoy this original look at who we are, where we come from and who we are today.

CHURCH HISTORY BOOKLET
Be sure to pick up a copy of the church’s new history booklet written by Bunny Guerrin.
Copies are available after worship or you can get it on-line through the church newsletter. We are asking a $1 donation to help defray publication costs. Enjoy!
