Northfield church
offers TCC Takeout
NORTHFIELD — The Trinitarian Congregational Church in Northfield continues to provide liturgical and pastoral support to its congregation in spite of the closure of the church building and the absence of a minister and regular staffing of its office. We offer “TCC Takeout” — liturgies for use at home. Copies are emailed or snail mailed to our members and are also available late each week at our website: http://www.tccnorthfield.org/home.html.
Occasional gatherings via Zoom are planned.
SHELBURNE — The First Congregational Church of Shelburne continues to provide worship resources for home services through its church email and website at www.shelburnechurch.org. Prayer requests may be sent to the pastor, Rev. Robert Gormbley, at his email: pastor01089@gmail.com or phone 413-348-4675.
Anyone needing further assistance to access these resources may call the church clerk, Diantha Wholey, at 413-625-6592.
NORTHFIELD — Anyone looking for uplift through laughter and song is welcome to join First Parish Unitarian online Sunday at 9 a.m. in a Chalice Circle service hosted by Paul Bocko and Terry McKeon. Children are invited to log into the same link on a separate device and then join their families for the first part of the service. After a time for all ages, children will then be invited into a break out room for time together.
The Internet link for the service will be the same as previous Sundays. To obtain the link may send an e-mail to fpnorthfieldma@gmail.com requesting a copy.
