Do you believe that we must embrace words such as “durable, sturdy, stable, hardy and robust” in the future rather than words such as “rapid growth, consumer spending and more”? The Social Action Committee is sponsoring a year-long theme focusing on “Living Simply so that Others Might Simply Live.” Rev. Kelley will be giving monthly sermons on this theme and members will share their experiences. In addition, there will be projects, pot-lucks, movies and discussions. Please watch for entries in the Church website, “The Chalice” and “This Week at First Parish.” If this topic resonates with you and you would like to help make this idea a reality, please contact Dunc at (978) 922-2369 or duncball@comcast.net. It is not necessary that you join the Social Action Committee. We welcome your contribution on line or in writing, as well as in person.
