Meeting house Reopening Update

Friends:

As the leaves turn to their rich and deep color we look forward to the coming of cooler crisp air and the smells of pumpkin spice cake, hot chocolate brewing in a pot on the stove, and  meeting with close friends in our homes, schools, and community events.  This time of the year we are used to returning to the friendly pews in our church.  There are a lot of other activities we are used to doing such as the Topsfield fair, young families getting together for food and fellowship, and youth and children beginning their year’s activities.  Unfortunately this year because of Covid 19 there is no fair. You can probably hear the sighs of relief from the local turkey population. 

I guess they are the only ones who are happy with the news of the cancellation of this annual event. Read complete message here.

A message from the Board of Deacons and the Parish Care Team regarding pastoral visits

Our congregation is blessed to have pastors who are committed to providing "in home" visitation if requested by any member or friend of this congregation.  This is no less true even during the COVID-19 pandemic.

However, in the interest of protecting the pastors from infection, of minimizing the risk of their introducing infection to a household, and of preventing the inadvertent transmission of infection to their households and other households, we are requiring that the pastors and households to be visited adhere to the following practices:  Read complete message here.

“I think it is imperative for us to participate in the survey for a number of reasons. If there is wide enough participation, the data collected in this survey will enable the Massachusetts Department of Public Health to determine how the pandemic is influencing our state and its communities. We will therefore contribute to the common good, enabling the Commonwealth to better provide services to the residents of the Commonwealth. It will also contribute to our understanding of how the pandemic is influencing us as community, as church, as family units and as individuals. This especially important for the leadership of our church from the perspective of mission, both internally and externally. It will help us to allocate our available resources more effectively. The most compelling reason for us to participate in the survey is that is part of our commitment to practice the Great Commandment of loving our neighbor.  Join me in supporting this important work.” –Rev. Martin
