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!

Sometimes it’s hard to realize what an impact this congregation has had on Middleborough and the communities around us that we serve. Not only do we support nonprofit organizations serving populations needing a helping hand with our Cash-in-the-Plate program, but we support our Minister’s Discretionary Fund. On behalf of our church, with our discretionary fund and with nonmonetary donations, we have given away new clothing and toys for schoolchildren Chromebook for a special needs child so he could keep up with schoolwork a specially designed chair so a child could join his family at the dinner table a child’s first

WELCOME TO MAY Such an exciting time of the year as we enter warmer days of growing light and new beginnings. On May 22 we will celebrate Music Sunday with a special worship service called “Considering Music.” You can read more about this service in our calendar line-up of Sunday descriptions. The “music department” is very busy preparing and practicing for a program that we hope will be thoughtful and nourishing for us all. We are also thinking forward into June when we will celebrate Rev. Sarah’s retirement on June 11. She has been a stalwart supporter of our music
