Considering Music
Led by Susan Hotchkiss
Sunday, May 22 - Music Sunday
Join us for Music Sunday 2022 as we Hear, Heal, and Hope our way into a celebration of music. The Chalice Choir will present A Ukrainian Prayer, newly composed by living legend John Rutter, and Sing Gently by Erik Whitacre who presented this piece in a virtual format involving 17,572 singers in July of 2020. In addition to the choir, there will be an instrumental offering from Nancy Kidd as well as other soloists and smaller ensembles of singers and players. This worship service is designed to look deeply into music as a participatory art form, strengthening our community and allowing us to carry forth with strength and purpose.
Welcome
If you are looking for a spiritual home, come in and experience our open minds, open hearts and open doors. Our liberal religious congregation has been serving individuals and families in Middleborough and surrounding towns with great music, meaningful and thought-provoking sermons and opportunities to give back. We are committed to spiritual growth and lifelong learning with religious exploration that promotes creativity, integrity and compassion. We work together to build a world that is more loving and more just for all people.
Virtual Spring Auction
VIRTUAL SPRING AUCTION 2022
We’re down to the last days of the auction. Bidding will close at 8:00 pm on Sunday, May 15. Watch your email just before 8:00 in case you get a notice that you’ve been out-bid on an item, so you can bid again if you wish. There’s a bid extension rule in place. If a bid comes in in the last few minutes, bidding on that item will be extended automatically for an extra 15 minutes to give a chance for more bids.
After bidding closes, the system will send emails notifying successful bidders. You can then send a check to the Church for your total order, and contact the person who offered the item to make arrangements.
Don’t miss your chance to get in on the fun and snag something great!
Thank you for all you do for each other and for the Church!
