At The Dover Church, we’ve been in ongoing conversation about how we can live even more fully into our Open and Affirming covenant with one another and with the wider community.

As part of this work, we invite you to join us for an LGBTQ+ panel discussion during coffee hour on
🗓 Sunday, February 8
⏰ 11:15 a.m.

We will be joined by four guest panelists who will share their insights and experiences. This panel is a space to bring your questions, your wonderings about what it means to be a community for everyone, how to support a loved one who may be questioning or has recently come out, how to be a better ally, and more.

We know it can feel hard to speak up or ask big questions, so we’re creating multiple ways for you to participate. Questions may be submitted anonymously in advance using the link in our weekly e‑News or here:
👉 https://tinyurl.com/TDCPanelQss

There will also be opportunities to ask questions, both anonymously and out loud, during the panel.

☕ Refreshments (including empanadas!) will be provided, sponsored by the Deacon’s Outreach Ministry.

All are welcome. We hope you’ll join the conversation.

A Service of Prayer, Song, and Youthful Witness ✨
February 1st, 10 AM

Join us on Sunday, February 1st for a Taizé worship service inspired by the summer pilgrimage our youth group took to Taizé, France alongside youth from Pilgrim Church - United Church of Christ, Sherborn, MA.

This contemplative service will be centered on quiet prayer, simple and beautiful music, and reflections from our teen pilgrims, who will share how their journey shaped their faith and deepened their connection with God. Our teens will also lead the children’s message, joyfully sharing their experience with our youngest worshipers.

Come and be renewed through stillness, song, and the voices of our young people.

We look forward to worshiping together.
If you cannot attend in person, join us online: https://thedoverchurch.org/worship/online/ 🕯️🎶🙏

Our Youth Have Returned from Taizé! 🙏 🇫🇷

We are grateful to share that our youth group has safely returned from their pilgrimage to Taizé, France. It was a powerful week of prayer, reflection, community, and spiritual growth.

Thank you to everyone who held them in your thoughts and prayers throughout the journey—your support meant the world to them.

We look forward to hearing more about their experiences this fall, when we will gather for a special worship service centered around Taizé and the insights they brought back with them. Stay tuned—this will be a meaningful moment for our whole church family.
