Letters
I have enjoyed the recent letters concerning global warming, the most recent from Mr. Kilgo touched on a central point “the climate will continue to change.” We bend over backwards to buy rare earth metals from our global enemy for minor reductions in CO2 whilst they continue to plan and build 260...
Congregations go through passages too. Many years ago, I helped guide a North Shore Unitarian congregation through the sudden collapse of a ministry. Another time, I empathized with a good friend slowly agonizing through an uninspired ministry. Perhaps preciously, sometimes, with authentic heart...
It was with sadness that we heard that there was yet another racially motivated incident at one of the schools in the GDRSD recently.
The Racial and Social Justice Group would simply like to reach out to those affected by this hurtful act and let it be known that you are a vital part of our...

Intermittent Electricity Sources--From a layperson
Hopefully by now every GELD customer has read and digested the timely warning from GELD Manager Kevin Kelly, and hopefully we are starting to understand the situation New England finds itself in - it is two decades in the making and started when I...
“As energy costs go up this winter, we want to make sure families know that help is out there to put food on the table and keep the lights on in their homes. We’re grateful to Project Bread and our regional food banks and pantries for partnering with us to educate residents on how they can...
Since the “Be Prepared” newsletter went out on November 1, I have learned some things regarding potential rolling blackouts that could occur if there is an extended cold snap this winter. After extensive discussion with National Grid, the entity who operates our transmission lines, GELD should be...
