MINISTRY OF MISSION & SERVICE
Ministry Members: Tish Verzino (Chairperson), Peg Underhill, Carol Maynard, Martha Crawford, Michael Gettings, and Doug Joseph About the Ministry: The Ministry of Mission & Service is responsible for the church's outreach and service, both locally and globally. It seeks to support the mission efforts of individuals and groups; educate the congregation about giving and service opportunities; advocate for mission and justice issues; and advocate and interpret the church's world wide mission. Mission & Service welcomes both input and participation by individuals and groups with a "passion" for any kind of outreach or advocacy work. Please contact the church office if you would like information about any Mission & Service program. For Information: Contact Martha Crawford at mscwestwood@msn.com
PROGRAMS Rosie's Place SANDWICHES: On the third Monday of every month, October through May, First Parish prepares and delivers ten dozen ham & cheese sandwiches to Rosie's Place in Boston. Sandwiches are prepared and donated by volunteers, coordinated by parishioner Thelma Bruno. If you would like to help with this long-standing volunteer effort, please contact the church office at 781-326-5344. Pumpkins With a Purpose Every fall, First Parish hosts the "Pumpkins With a Purpose" pumpkin patch, where the community is invited to purchase beautiful pumpkins and gourds. The Patch, staffed by volunteers, runs from mid-October through Halloween and provides a wonderful gathering place for friends and families while they search for that perfect pumpkin. Why "Pumpkins With a Purpose"? Because our pumpkins have a mission! All proceeds from their sale benefit First Parish outreach efforts, with disbursement determined by First Parish's Ministry of Mission & Service. Each pumpkin is not only a decorative symbol of the season, but also a way to help others. It doesn't get any better than that! Click here for pictures of the Patch!
