What's Happening at PACC

• We had a very successful craft fair at the church on May 10.  Mark your calendar for May 2009 to avoid missing the fun next year!
• See pictures from the one-year anniversary of the church's decision to become an Open and Affirming congregation celebrated during coffee hour after church on May 4.
• See pictures and a program from the  Longwood Opera's performance of “Broadway Meets Opera” on May 4, the final concert of the 2007-2008 season of the PACC Concert Series.  Be sure see plans for the 2008-2009 season.

• Jeffrey Brody, our music director, has been awarded a grant to compose a concerto for flute and orchestra by the Brannen-Cooper Fund at Brannen Brothers Flutemakers in Woburn. The concerto will be written for flutist Judith Braude, and will be performed by the Salem Philharmonic Orchestra in 2009, and will be the fifteenth composition by Jeffrey performed by the Salem Philharmonic. In other news, Jeffrey's postlude at our Easter service will be Jeffrey's own arrangement of music by Erich Wolfgang Korngold.

• If you want to know more about the church, you can talk with the Pastor and Deacons about this community of faith and what it means to be a member at a gathering in the Fireplace Room after church on Palm Sunday, March 16. There will also be an opportunity to share stories of our faith journeys at a Continental breakfast on Saturday, April 5, beginning at 10:00 a.m. in the Fireplace Room. Contact the church office for more information.

An Open and Affirming Congregation

We, the members of Park Avenue Congregational Church, United Church of Christ, as an expression of our Christian love for all God’s people, declare ourselves to be an Open and Affirming congregation. Open and Affirming is the UCC designation for congregations that make public statements of welcome into their full life, leadership and ministries to persons of all sexual orientations and gender identities. We welcome all people into our community of faith, embracing differences of sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, race, ethnicity, mental or physical ability, age and socio-economic background. In our calling to express the love and welcome of Christ, we affirm the dignity and worth of every person.
