Newton Highlands Congregational Church, UCC, congregants gathered after worship on Sunday, June 1, 2025, to help launch Community Connection, a landscape master planning process with landscape architect Karen Sebastian and design builder and restoration contractor David Nauss.
About 20 church members and friends got an overview of a process that will include several group brainstorming sessions in the fall. Attendees shared some initial ideas and walked outside on a cool and windy day to view the church entry with the two consultants.
Ideas for improving the church’s interior and exterior have been under consideration since 2022.
Point people for the church are Diane Basemera, member of the Building and Grounds Committee, and Sally Brickell, moderator.
Questions and ideas are welcome! Please fill out a Dream Card at church or email [email protected].
