On Sunday, May 21st the choirs of Holy Family Parish and West Concord Union Church sang a choral medley from Godspell by Stephen Schwartz. Enjoy the highlights below!

On Sunday, April 30th, we celebrated Pastor Hannah’s last Sunday before her sabbatical and welcomed Rev. Lee Atherton (and her dog Shadow!) to our faith community. Rev. Lee will serve as sabbatical pastor while Hannah enjoys her sabbatical, and we surprised both of them with a festive party after worship! Cupcakes, decorations, flowers, and a fellowship hall filled with people (and a dog!) rounded out our joyful celebration. Huge blessings to Hannah and a huge welcome to Lee!

Interactive prayer stations were set up throughout the sanctuary, designed to take people through the story of Holy Week. People moved through at their own pace, grinding wheat, washing feet, receiving communion, praying, making pretzels, creating garden critters for an Easter mural, and experiencing prayerful reflection in our labyrinth. It was a beautiful interactive journey.

Worship was filled with palms, Sunday School was busy making communion bread and remembering Jesus’ last supper, and the whole congregation gathered outside for a neighborhood palm parade – with ponies! Our festive day ended with pony rides for all who wanted them, including some staff. 🙂
