Ministry Description |
The United Parish of Lunenburg (UPL) is located in North Central Massachusetts and is welcoming and accepting to all. UPL alternates between United Methodist and UCC pastors. We support a number of missions and activities: we have a strong music program with a choir director and organist; we support NorthStar Family Services in their mission to provide family shelter and transition services in Leominster; we participate in the North Central Massachusetts Faith Based Community Coalition, which provides meals to the homeless in Fitchburg; and we collaborate with the local Boys & Girls Club on activities such as a victory garden planted on the church’s front lawn. Our volunteer-run Faith Formation program puts faith into action climbing a mountain to worship, baking apple crisps for UNICEF, hosting fellowship and game night, and flipping pancakes for Heifer International. Our building is also used by various groups such as the Boy Scouts (we are their sponsor organization), YMCA Aerobics and AA. We run a successful annual gifts and services auction, with 10% of the proceeds donated to North Star Family Services. We have prepared and delivered flood buckets, and contributed to denominational drives, such as One Great Hour of Sharing. We are looking for a pastoral leader who has the ability to work between our two main denominations and who can empower us to journey into the new land where God is calling us. |
