This Sunday May 12th, 2024 we will be holding a service on the topic of Mental Health, and how we can help our congregation become more welcoming and inclusive of those who struggle with mental health challenges.

On behalf of the Mental Health Committee, we invite you to fill out this anonymous survey about how you feel we can make improvements in this area based on your personal experiences. At the end we will ask if you give permission for us to share your anonymous response during our service to give examples of ways we can grow and improve. Please do not feel pressured to say yes, we greatly appreciate your input either way. All responses are completely anonymous.

Thank you so much for participating.

You can also join us by contributing online here:  https://give.projectbread.org/team/571948.  So far we have collected $2,350 towards this Project Bread Walk fundraiser to fight hunger in Massachusetts.  But, our Mission Giving Team has promised to match contributions up to $5,000!  Bring cash, or a check (to Project Bread, with United Parish Team in the memo section) to the Walk.  Or, come to Coffee Hour one last time to contribute in our tin.  We will also forward any contributions sent to the church office. We thank you for helping with contributions of any size.  Participating in this Walk is United Parish's wonderful complement to our Thanksgiving meal and Brookline Food Pantry hosting in the fight for adequate food for all.

We will make blankets for graduating seniors and babies and assemble care bags we give to the United Parish community in times of need. We will meet after the worship service in the Choir Room, and a light lunch will be served. If you plan to attend and have any dietary restrictions, please let us know so we can plan accordingly. All are welcome, even if it's for only part of the time. We look forward to seeing you there! Contact heartsandhands@upbrookline.org.
