Pumpkin Picking!

After coffee hour, Centralites will head over to Four Town Farm (90 George Street, Seekonk, Mass.) for some good old-fashioned pumpkin patch pickin’ and other Halloween fun.

World Communion Sunday
Sunday, Oct. 5, 10:30 am
On the first Sunday in October, Christians around the globe celebrate World Communion Sunday. On this day, we remember that Jesus Christ is Head of the Church and that all denominations that promote Christian unity are one – and we draw faith and inspiration from seeing we are part of a community of billions of believers. Join us as we share in the sacrament with Christians the world over!
Blessing of the Animals
Sunday, Oct. 5, 2 pm
This Sunday, we will celebrate the Feast of Saint Francis with a blessing of the animals. This special observance honors the vital roles companion animals have in our lives. The love we give to and receive from our pets is a valuable reminder of God’s love for us all. Interested pets, great and small, on leashes, in carriers, or in photographs – and their human companions – are invited to join our senior minister Patrick Faulhaber on the West Lawn.
