Fieldstone Fair This Weekend!
Cindy Hutchison
Our annual parish Fieldstone Fair Dinner will be this
Friday! Dinner starts at 6:30 pm, but come early for a preview of the Fair wares at 5 pm in Upper Fales Hall, followed by
a reception at 6 pm in the Lower Fales Hall, and then our annual ham dinner.
Some people have generously donated their tickets, so if you'd like to come but your budget doesn't
allow you to, call the office or contact Rev. Cathy.
The annual Fieldstone Fair is this Saturday from 9 am until 2 pm. As always, you will be able
to purchase baked goods, crafts, jewelry, gift items, and special items from our White Elephant. You can take your chances
in our raffle. Come early, shop, and enjoy lunch!

Thank you to everyone who has responded so generously and quickly during our stewardship month. If you haven't returned
your card, though, it's not too late. In fact, it's never too late to pledge!

Flu Season Precautions
During flu season, we're implementing changes based on Diocesan guidelines.
- During the Peace, please do greet your neighbors but refrain from shaking hands.
- During communion, we are discontinuing intinction (dipping bread in the wine). If you feel unwell, please also refrain
from drinking from the chalice.
- We have placed hand sanitizer in the front and back of the church, as well as in the parish hall, for your use.
If you'd like to read the full memo from the Diocese, please email Kristina in the office and she'll send it to
you.

From the Wider Community
Help the Community Day Center Expand Its Hours
The Waltham Ministerial Association is also sponsoring a special opening of the Community Day Center's
doors during the cold months of this winter (Thanksgiving to Easter) so that the homeless and low-income members of our community
have a warm place to go between 7:30-9 am each weekday. We need volunteers from area congregations to help out. This is a
great way for people to volunteer before work and get to know a bit more about serving the homeless right here in Waltham.
Rev. Joan Murray is in charge of this effort, and if people are interested they can contact her at Murray.JoanB@comcast.net. There is an orientation to this opportunity tonight at 7
pm at the Community Day Center (First Presbyterian) for anyone interested (this orientation is not a requirement in order
to volunteer).
Adopt a Pet for the Holidays
Waltham resident Ann is looking for help with her project to help take care of dogs and cats in shelters. There
are a few ways to help: donating toys for a dog or cat (Family Dollar here in Waltham has inexpensive animal toys), or knitting
or crocheting pet blankets for the animals' cages (Ann has patterns she can forward).
Ann will deliver the toys and blankets; for more information
or to help, call her at 617-504-2098.
