Making Holidays special and memorable is my job as a minister.
Living our Values
My job as a minister is to encourage us to live our values. there was a time when the Food Pantry clients would wait outside for their Thanksgiving and Christmas Meals, Now their is a reception for clients while they wait.
Using our Spaces for Public Good
Here is a reception for the Refugees helped by the Dedham Refugee project. Opening our doors and facilitation of like minded groups doing good is my job as a minister.
Collaboration
As the Minister collaborating with like minded groups and getting involved in the community helps to widen our circle and raise the visibility of the Church.
Cleaning House
Decluttering is something I have helped individuals and churches do through all my ministry. Having a yard sale once or twice or thrice a year helps.
Walking Together
During the pandemic in Dedham I began a Nature and Nurture walk where we would walk and talk (sometimes about Transcendentalists)
Fairs and Festivals
It is important for the minister to participate in all the fairs and festivals of the church. Here my friend Pam plays Santa at the First Church Holly Fair.
Pam challenged our stereotypes with a sense of humor and great kindness.
