Sanctuary is a spiritual gathering devoted to and expressly for the LGBTQ community and their supporters. Because this community struggles for inclusion, we have created a safe space for all persons to worship, question, and trust their own inner wisdom. In a contemplative atmosphere that draws on the teachings of many spiritual traditions, we learn to trust what we believe and give our innermost thoughts and feelings an opportunity to rise from within us. - Join us for an hour of reflection, worship, and fellowship where we can all be who God created us to be.

Carlton Farewell
As we already know, Memorial is in a time of transition. Now we must sadly say goodbye to another beloved member of our Memorial staff. Carlton has announced that he will be leaving Memorial at the end of February to pursue his musical career and interests in the Berkshires. Please plan to come to Engage after worship on Sunday, February 28th to thank Carlton for his time at Memorial and the many musical gifts he has brought to our church over the years. A light lunch will be served and this will be a time to share with Carlton what his ministry has meant to all of us. If you would like to contribute to a monetary gift for Carlton, you can send or bring it to the church office or drop checks into the offering plate with "Carlton's fund" written in the memo. Please put cash in an envelope marked "Carlton's fund." Please RSVP to Joan Meehan in the church office if you are coming for lunch. It will help us plan for the food. Thanks. Ellen Baer Leeds, Staff Parish Relations Committee
