            [post_content] => MLK Day of Service 

Join us for our annual Sunday morning of service in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on Sunday, January 18 at 9:45am in the Parlor. All ages are invited to gather to make sandwiches and assemble over 120 bagged lunches for common cathedral, an outdoor church that serves the unhoused community and has been worshipping rain, snow, or shine for over 30 years! We'll depart from United Parish at 11:30am to bring the lunches over to Boston Common and help serve lunch and celebrate worship with common cathedral. Contact Associate Pastor Amy Norton-Benfield at amy@upbrookline.org for more information.

            [post_content] => SUGGESTIONS FROM YOUR MENTAL HEALTH TEAM, TO COPE IN A CHALLENGING TIME

As we embrace the Christmas season and the sacred time of Advent, we are reminded of the hope and light that this season brings. As Isaiah 9:6 tells us, "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given," and with that gift comes a message of peace and renewal. In the same spirit, we at the Mental Health Network encourage you to find moments of calm and to care for your mental and emotional well-being during this meaningful time.

We recognize that the holiday season can bring a mix of emotions—joy, reflection, and sometimes even challenges. It's important to remember that it's okay to seek rest and support, just as we celebrate the coming of the Prince of Peace who brings comfort to our hearts and joy to our souls. Here are some resources to help in this potentially challenging time.
