Children’s Service Planned for St. Mary’s St. Mary’s is planning a Children’s Service next Sunday, November 8th. All children are invited to participate in the service (with adult leadership) as ushers, greeters, almsbearers, acolytes, readers, or junior choir members. We are still seeking youngsters to participate on this special day, so please contact Isabel Phillips, our Interim Director of Christian Education. Isabel’s Email: reading_doctor@comcast.net. Phone: (978) 852-4633 The November 8th Children’s Service will be a service of Holy Communion led by Margaret Schwarzer. Our older youth will present a short homily on the topic of: “Stewardship from a Place of Gratitude.” If you are a student in Middle School or High School and would like to share your own thoughts and reflections, please let Isabel Phillips or Jeffrey Hughes know ASAP. There will be a rehearsal for this service on Saturday, November 7th from 9:30 – 10:15am, and again before the service on Sunday, November 8th at 8:45am. (Dunkin Donuts will be served at 8:45am).
