This month’s theme is Pluralism.

Winning feels better or doesn’t hurt as much and I have found that I don’t learn as much as when I’ve lost. A chance to take stock, wonder what a church is for, can be for, and to impress ourselves with strength and resilience we might not have known we had. And as ever, Joy is a form of resistance! Community Minister Rev. Ralph Galen leads.

Childcare will be available in the Treehouse from 9:15-12:15, and all ages are always welcome there during events before or after the service. Children ages 4 and older are invited to come first to the worship service, and then to an all-ages children’s chapel.

This month, we are sharing our offering plate with First Parish Emergency Shelter Fund (www.fpmalden.org/donate).
