Our October Ministry Theme is Beginnings, and perhaps the best way to begin anything is to center in the authenticity of who you are. To help us do that, we welcome back Zach Field this Sunday. Rev. Rebecca will join Zach in the service and Alan Seale will provide additional music.
Zach is the owner and instructor of Zach Field Drums & Music. He started ZFDM in 1999 after teaching percussion at a local school district and at the collegiate level. Zach holds a Bachelor of Music Performance degree from UMass Lowell. He is the founder of Plum Island Pans (a steel drum band), the Gong Meditation Project, and the creator of the drum teaching software, Drumroom.
“In out-of-the-way places of the heart, where your thoughts never think to wander, this beginning has been quietly forming, waiting until you were ready to emerge.” –John O’Donohue

Dear Members and Friends,
As many of you know, this summer was a time of deep discernment for me. It became clear that the time has come for me to move on to the next chapter in my ministry. This church year will be my last year as your settled minister. This has not been an easy decision.
Our shared ministry has been exquisite. It is both tender and brave, forward-looking and honoring of the past. Together we have weathered many changes within and beyond our church and thrived while doing so. To read the full letter and a message from Parish Board Chair Bob Higgins, click HERE.
