Join Us for Worship THIS SUNDAY, 10/2

"Be the Church" series, 3-9
Forgive Often
10/2 @ 10am EDT LIVE!
on-site & online via Zoom at
http://zoom.us/j/907548568

"Sorry" may be the hardest word, but I forgive you" may be the most complicated... and misunderstood. Forgiveness is a complex and powerful business, for the one forgiven and especially the one doing the forgiving. Yes, we're called to "forgive often," as individuals and communities, but it takes practice. (Matthew 6:12)

Guest Preacher, Rev. Nikira Hernandez (they, them), to preach. Rev. Nikira pastors the Brighton Allston Congregational Church, UCC, in Boston. 
Holy Communion / The Eucharist / The Lord's Supper

You do not need to be a member of this or any congregation to take part. (You're also completely free not to take part, too.) As always, all bread is gluten-free and all juice is non-alcoholic.  Folks worshiping online, please prepare your own food and drink. Bread and juice or wine, cookies and coffee, Coke and Doritos, anything and anyone can become a blessing in God's hands.

Coming Up Sunday, 10/9

"Be the Church" series, 4-9
Dismantle Racism
10/9 @ 10am EDT LIVE!
on-site & online via Zoom at
http://zoom.us/j/907548568

The prophet Isaiah's vision of the kin-dom of God, where lion and lamb dwell together in peace is beautiful and completely counter to our understanding of the way our world works. Similarly, in a culture like ours that runs on white supremacy, the call to dismantle racism in ourselves and our society is still shocking. Can lions declaw themselves? With God, all things are possible. (Romans 12:1-2)

Guest Preacher, Rev. Dr. John C. Dorhauer (he, him), to preach. Rev. Dr. Dorhauer serves as the General Minister & President of the United Church of Christ.
All hymns and responses necessary for worship are projected., and printed bulletins are not provided.
