THE PUBLICK HOUSE COOKS for many organizations as a way of giving back to our community. Each sponsored organization receives a portion from every dinner served. Our “turn” is again scheduled for St. Patrick’s Eve, March 16^th, for the traditional corned beef and cabbage dinner.  Adult donation: $13.00; children 4 and above: $5.00. Tickets are available in the church office and from Jim Dunn (508-347-3019). Checks should be made payable to Sturbridge Federated Church. Seatings are at 4:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m.

Is Lent a bit of a muddle for you? Want to learn more about the various special days, traditions, their histories and meanings? Discover which Lent practices might fit (or not) into your life in our small group discussion each Wednesday of Lent from 6:00 – 7:30 p.m. in Fellowship Hall. Pastor Janet will be our facilitator and we’ll share a simple supper of soup and bread each week. All ages and stages are welcome!!! Childcare is available by prior request. Please let us know if it is needed. The suppers begin February 25th and will run through April 1^st (no fooling). More questions? Please see Pastor Janet or Connie Thompson, Diaconate Chair.

As a matter of policy, when school is cancelled for snow in the Tantasqua/Union 61 school district, the office of the Meetinghouse will be closed.

A reporter for the New York Times recently visited the church with Dr. James Fenimore Cooper, Jr. of the Congregational Library in Boston to view some of older records with an eye toward turning over records for digitization and preservation. Read the whole story in the July 30, 2014 edition of the New York Times!
