"Dreaming in Another Language"
January 19, 2020
On this Sunday before Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, it's become standard practice to rehearse elements of his famous "I Have a Dream" speech. But was his dream and the dream of our African-American neighbors every really the dream of the dominant white culture in our country? And if not, can we ever really learn to dream in another language? (Daniel 7:1-14)

'"Calling"
January 12, 2020
This Sunday we'll remember Jesus' baptism by John in the Jordan River; celebrate Rev. John's 20th anniversary of ordination to the ministry of word and sacrament and the beginning of his second year of ministry here with us at the Congregational Church of Needham; and reflect on the whole idea of a "call from God": Who does God call, and how? And what does it mean to answer that call... or not? (Matthew 3:13-17)

"The Myth of a Bootstrap Nation"
September 1, 2019
On this Labor Day weekend, it's good to remember that despite the persistent myth that here in America, we "pulled ourselves up by our own bootstraps" to achieve success, in reality what prosperity some enjoy is built on the willing and unwilling sacrifice of millions. God calls us to remember that we are not a self-made nation. We are interdependent, and our lives-are interconnected more than we might care to admit.(Jeremiah 2:4-13)
