Join Walpole First Congregational Church interim minister, Melissa O’Brien, for an open conversation about all things end of life. As a former hospice and hospital chaplain, and long-time minister and senior community chaplain, Melissa has spent a great deal of time in the presence of those who are transitioning out of this world. Death is one of her favorite topics of conversation, though it’s probably not yours! Come with questions and curiosities; bring your coffee and we’ll provide the sugar rush. Saturday, November 14 at 10am in the Walpole First Congregational Church’s commons room. Questions: melissa519@me.com.

Cast of Witnesses – A new Cantata comes to Walpole
On April 11, 7-8 PM, Walpole Congregational Church will host the performance of an original cantata, Cast Of Witnesses. The cantata recounts the events of Jesus’ triumphal entry to Jerusalem, his subsequent trial and unjust execution, and his Easter resurrection.

The nine soloists are supported by a large chorus who round out the Cast of Witnesses. Musical Direction by Tim Golden; Director, Philip Turner. Come, hear and see this unique musical retelling of the Passion narrative.
A matinee performance 1:30-2:30 PM will be hosted on April 13th at Life on Main and a final evening 7-8 PM performance on April 15th at St. Luke’s, both in Charlestown.
