Malden Warming Center. We are opening the Warming Center in 65 days.  We could really use your help.  When we closed for the season, most of our canned goods and dried goods were expiring before we open for the 2021-2022 season.  We could really use shelf stable milk, canned vegetables, spaghetti sauce, individual snacks (granola bars, peanut butter crackers, individual potato chips).  We use all these items to serve a hot meal every night at 7 p.m.  Also we provide a bag lunch for our guests to take with them for the day with snacks, bottled water, and sandwiches. Juice boxes, as well as canned soda, can also be used.  Please let me know if you can help in any way.  Thank you very much for your consideration and your time.  Please see Marilyn Glover for more information.

Dear Church members and friends,

Due to updated guidance from the CDC and the Department of Public Health, masks will once again be required when inside the church building effective today Sunday, September 19, 2021 regardless of vaccination status. This will help protect the most vulnerable members of our community and provide a safer experience for all. We thank you for your understanding.

1. I heard from Dottye Foxon today that her son Jeff is slowly recovering from his 2nd bout with Covid – he is now in a regular hospital room and will be transferred to rehab in about one week.  Dottye requests that we continue to keep Jeff in our prayers.
2.  A correction to Gabriella Snyder’s address:  38 Wheeler St, Malden.  Here is link to her husband’s  obituary:

I learned today that former longtime member of the church, Jean Gottschalk, has passed away.  Her funeral will be held on Friday, April 16, 10:00 a.m. at the Weir-MacCuish Funeral Home in Malden, with committal to follow in Forest Dale Cemetery.  Calling hours will be at the funeral home on Thursday, April 15, 4-8 p.m.  I expect there may be an online obituary for Jean on the funeral home’s website later this week.
