Regular Services will resume on Sunday, September 12, with our annual "water communion" -- remember to bring a small sample of water from some special summer place, near or far.
Summer Services
Although the regular services are suspended until September, there are member-led services Sundays at 9:30 am in the Parlor of the Parish House. For more information, click here.
Thursday Morning Meditation
Morning Meditation continues through the
summer. Since it is summer & vacations are
common, it may pay to be in touch with one of
us to be sure of an open door.
Sitting medita-
tion begins at 5:45 am, & again about 6:30 am , for a
half hour, we break it up with bells, walking
meditation, & a Heart Sutra chant.
If you have
any questions email Eric Cornetta,
EECornetta@mac.com or
Rob Baynes at Rob@RBaynes.com.
Rosh Hashanah/Yom Kippur Volunteers Needed
Once again, Old Ship will be providing childcare during Rosh Hashanah and
Yom Kippur services at Congregation Sha'Aray Shalom in South Hingham. If you
can help out for all or part of either or both mornings, please call the
office (781-749-1679) and let us know.
The dates are September 9 and 18,
from 9:30am to 1:00pm each day. We need about five volunteers at all times.
Thanks very much if you can help out.
Contact Ken Read-Brown if you have any
questions (oldshipkrb@comcast.net).
Linens for Father Bill's
It would be greatly appreciated if you could bring gently used or new towels and sheets for Father Bill's. There is a box in the Parish House.
Haiti Relief
If you are seeking a way to contribute to the relief efforts in Haiti, you may do so through the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee. In cooperation with the Unitarian Universalist Association, a special relief fund has been created, the UUSC-UUA Haiti Earthquake Relief Fund. This UUSC-UUA Haiti Earthquake Relief Fund will work with partner organizations in Haiti to meet the needs of those less likely to be served by the important work of the major relief organizations. For details and to contribute on line, go to www.uusc.org. And thank you!
