            [post_content] => We are halfway through 2025 and going strong at Thrifty Threads! Thank you everyone for all of your hard work! We sent out 704 bags this quarter, which is equivalent to 7,392 pounds!  This means that so far this year, we have re-dontated 1,249 bags. This means that we have kept 13,126.5 pounds of clothing and other goods out of the landfill, and to the roughly 18 organizations/individuals we support.  This is amazing. We have used our funds to buy 36 cases of diapers, 33 packs of socks, 46 packs of underwear, 25 cases of soap, 5 cases of toothpaste, 5 cases of shampoo, 1 case of toothbrushes, 1 case of conditioner, 1 box of tampons, and 7 packs of maxi pads. In the second quarter, we earned $38,021, so our yearly total is now up to $71,539. This means we are on pace to set another record with our earnings this year.

            [post_content] => On July 20, as part of our summer worship series, "How We Learn to be Brave," Wendy Wayne, immigration lawyer and member of Temple Shir Tikva in Wayland, will talk to us about the status of immigration policy under the current administration. Wayne is a renowned immigration policy expert with extensive experience providing strategic advice to immigration and criminal justice organizations. She has guided the design and development of programs that expand access to justice and equity for historically marginalized communities. After worship, she will give a presentation about the current and future status of immigration policy, and what we can do to help those who are most vulnerable.

            [post_content] => When:  Monday, August 4 at 6:30-8:30pm

Where: United Parish Parlor

What: An evening of food, faith, and calendar-ing, as we listen for where the Holy Spirit is calling us to deepen together and plot out the year ahead to be as spirit-filled and sustainable as possible! Light dinner provided, additional snacks to share are encouraged.

Who: Anyone who is interested in Adult Education or small group ministry, or teaching, facilitating, or planning.

Why: Because we are committed to deepening our faith in creative, sustainable ways!

How: We will look at the arc of the worship and programming year, consider the questions/themes/topics we see bubbling up in the congregation, and conceptualize a loose plan for our adult deepening offerings for September through January.  Planning will then continue individually and/or amongst small working groups, in collaboration with staff and other ministry teams when applicable. With pastoral/staff support and guidance, we will implement our plan over the course of the autumn, and reconvene in December to debrief and look ahead to the second half of the year.
