1. This Sunday - First off, a couple dozen of us really enjoyed our Remembrance gathering this past Sunday evening which was a Wesley Covenant Service.  Some have asked for the words, which you can read here.  We hope to have this special service again next New Year's Day.

This coming Sunday (2/16), we will begin our short series on 1 Corinthians.  Prepare for worship by reading our passages here.  Be sure to plan on staying for our winter "Soup & Bread" potluck.  - Pastor Jeremy

2. Coffeehouse- The next Coffeehouse at Duxbury St. Paul's Church of the Nazarene will be Saturday, January 22 at 7pm.  All are welcome to join in the night of music, art, and coffee.  Please talk to Sarah if you are interested in performing.

3.  Annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Event - Each year the Hingham & Hull Religious Leaders Association hosts an event to remember the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. around the federal holiday in his honor.  This year it will be on Sunday evening, January 16th at 6:00 PM at the Hingham Congregational Church (366 Main Street) and will feature a service of remembrance and challenge.

4. North Street Community Retreat- Our third annual North Street Community Retreat (February 18-21, President's Day weekend) is getting closer and closer.  Everyone is invited to come!  The 'programming' will be minimal to maximize our time of fellowship with each other...just getting to know one another better.  We will have a special time of worship together on Sunday morning (no worship gathering in Hingham that day).  Windsor Hills Campground is just outside of Hillsboro, NH.  We'll be staying in "the Inn".  Cost includes 8 meals and 3 nights in hotel-quality rooms with individual bathrooms.  A deposit of $30/per person would be helpful as soon as possible.  All payments can be submitted in the offering boxes (but mark it clearly!).  Total amount due is the Sunday prior to our leaving.  The shared costs figure out as follows:
  • $135/person, assuming double occupancy
  • $67.50/child (4-12)
  • $10/child (0-4)
  • $350/family (2 adults, 2 children)
  • $180/person, single occupancy
5.  Aware in Prayer

  • Rosalie Carlson has shared that her son is being deployed sometime in March or April.  In addition, Rosalie has not been feeling very well again of late.  Let's keep them in prayer.  
  • Jennifer Colson is seeking various forms of financial aid in her quest to take part in the Christmas Creek Village Retreat Center.  She has been accepted and received some scholarships, but is in need of a cosigner or monetary gifts to be able to go.  Please keep her in prayer as well.
