Volunteers in Mission:
Fifth
Annual
Trip to the Blueberry Fields of Maine
August ~
2009
Washington
County, Maine
The
2009
DownEast Maine Mission Trip is scheduled for the middle of
August.
August is blueberry season, so the team will again be in ministry with
migrant workers and will work on a home rehab project through the
Neighbors Helping Neighbors program.
Please
note that volunteer work for this mission does not mean that you have
to travel to Maine. During July and the first two weeks of
August, we will be collecting:
NEW
BLANKETS
NEW HAND TOWELS
NEW SOCKS
NEW T-SHIRTS
BABY GOWNS, SLEEPERS, SWEATERS, and DIAPERS
BIBLES (Spanish language!)
It
costs
$175 to sponsor a MSUMC mission team member. Please consider
making a cash donation.
Please
contact the church office for more information: 401.331.8900
or
E-mail Rev. Carole Calhoun (cybergram2@earthlink.net)

Forms of Memory
—Nina Magliocchetti—
Gallery
Reception with the Artist:
November 20th, 5:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m.
MSUMC is
pleased to present a series
of multimedia sculptures representing anatomical hearts by Nina
Magliocchetti.
The work explores the concept of memory and how we contain it; emotion
and
where it is experienced in the body; as well as examining our own
relationships
to the material objects we choose to hold on to.
Nina wishes
most of all to use art as a not only a form of communication but a
means of
exchange. She mostly works in acrylic and watercolor paint, but also
enjoys
working three dimensionally. In the future, she would like to expand
her work
with ceramics and multimedia.
On
Gallery Night, November 20th, the artist will welcome visitors to our
Chapel Gallery. The
gallery and labyrinth will be open between 5:00 and 9:00
that evening. Concert organist David Clyle Morse will give two
exhilerating performances at 7:00 and 7:45 p.m. in the
sanctuary.
Gallery
Night parking is free in the Citizens Bank
Plaza
(rear of building) with free shuttles to the galleries.
Please
consider
joining us! (For more information, call 401.331.8900.)
