Join Us for Worship THIS SUNDAY, 2/5
|
LoveSong of Songs
Sunday 2/5 @ 10am ET LIVE! on-site & online via Zoom at http://zoom.us/j/907548568 Song of Songs is one of the most unique books in the Bible. It’s a love poem passionate and earthy. Many Biblical scholars over the years have tried to explain it (away) by saying it’s really an extended metaphor about the Church’s relationship with Jesus. But would it be any less holy if it was just a celebration of bodies—women’s bodies and dark-skinned woman’s bodies, at that? (Song of Songs 4:9-15) |

- Holy Communion: For our celebration of the Sacrament of Holy Communion / The Eucharist / The Lord’s Supper in worship this Sunday, those present in the sanctuary who wish to partake will be invited to come forward down the center aisle to receive a piece of gluten-free bread from a Deacon (who will be masked) and take for themselves a serving of juice (pre-set in a compostable cup). As always, all bread is gluten-free and all juice is non-alcoholic and ALL ARE INVITED. You do not need to be a member of this congregation or any congregation, but simply desire to receive this blessing in your life. Come, taste and see the goodness of God!
- If you're worshiping with us online, remember to prepare your own food and drink to share as part of this Sacrament.
- Join us for coffee and cookies and conversation in the foyer of the sanctuary after worship (bring your own mug, if you like).
- Year W: We continue in our year-long journey listening for voices of women, girls, and the divine feminine in scripture. For more information, click here.
- "Masks Respected, Not Required" For more about our COVID policies and protocols, click here.

Other Programs & Activities
NEW! Bible Study
Sundays @ 8:45-9:40am beginning 2/5 On-site in the Reception Room at church & online via Zoom http://zoom.us/j/907548568 Our current Year W project, listening for the voices of women, girls, and the divine feminine in the scriptures is the perfect opportunity / excuse to do some Bible study together. Join us to reflect on each Sunday's passages for preaching, listening for what tradition, scholarship, and the insight of the Spirit has to say to us today in and about these readings. |
Chapel Yoga
Thursdays @ 9am through 2/23 One of the best things any of us can do for our physical, mental, and spiritual health is find ways to reaffirm the living connection between our body, mind, and soul. And yoga is a great way to do that. Our own Carol Oberle, a trained yoga instructor, will help us kick off the new year leading a 50min yoga class for 8 weeks on Thursdays @ 9am in the chapel. This beautiful space we now share with the Charles River Ballet is perfect for yoga with the gorgeous winter light pouring in. This class is free for church members and their guests. Participants will need to bring a yoga mat and be prepared to leave your shoes and water bottles in the hallway before entering. |
Mindful Meditation
Sundays @ 7pm LIVE! via Zoom at http://zoom.us/j/907548568 What is mindful meditation? It's a type of meditation in which you focus on being intensely aware of what you're sensing and feeling in the moment, without interpretation or judgment. Practicing mindfulness involves breathing methods, guided imagery, and other practices to relax the body and mind and help reduce stress. Who couldn't use more of that? Join longtime practitioner Sue Findlay and others Sunday evenings online via Zoom. |
