1. This Sunday - What a busy Sunday coming up! Two things are happening in addition to our regular Sunday worship gathering during which we will continue with the Beatitudes in the sermon on the mount. First, right after service we will be having our annual potluck-at-the-park at the Hingham Bathing Beach (click here for a map). There are no grill usage allowed so everything must be heated before leaving the church or just picnic style things brought. Camping chairs, blankets, frisbees, and the like are welcome!

Second at 6:00 PM, Rev. Lora Wooster will be coming to share with us the possibilities of  a new ministry endeavor through Global Partnerships. EVERYONE is invited to come and hear the exciting ways that our church can partner with a church in Meso-America (the Caribbean, Mexico, & Central America). We will share ice cream together after.

2. Invitation from Pastor Jeremy - For our Wednesday evening dinner & discussion this summer, we are looking line-by-line at the Lord's Prayer within the Sermon on the Mount. To complement this, many of you are sharing your thoughts from a book on prayer and reporting to us what you discovered, learned, were challenged by, etc. in that book. I have all of the books in my library, so you don't have to purchase anything - just read the book and let us know about it! You can see the books and authors here. There are only a couple left, so email me to let me know if you're willing to help us out. I'm developing a schedule for reporting, but this next week we'll look at "Our Father which are in heaven." I'm looking forward to this as we seek to be in better awareness of the Kingdom of God and his work in us through prayer!

3. North Street Quick Updates & Prayer Requests - Our Quick Updates email list is growing, but for those who need a reminder: In addition to this once-a-week e-news, you can also be on our "Quick Updates" email list! These emails generally go out 3-7 times a week or so sharing community updates, prayer requests, and other North Street-related items. E-mail Christina Duncan to be put on the list.

4. Our Kids' Week is quickly approaching (starting July 25th). . You can learn more about Kids' Summer Fun Week on the North St. Website. We are also in need of several volunteers for the nights of our Kids' Summer Fun Week as well as the Saturday before (July 23rd) at 9am to help transform our Chapel for the exciting week to follow. Contact Dawn Haskell if you would like to help. Please continue to spread the word! There are several different kinds of fliers, etc. on the pulpit in the fellowship hall. So far we have a small list of things we need donated:
* sheets of colorful foam
* mini pretzels
* 3 oz paper cups
* toilet paper rolls and paper towel rolls
If you are able to donate an item please let Christina Duncan know asap.

5. Friends of the Homeless is in need of twin fitted and flat sheet sets. Sheets that are new or gently used will be most welcome. Contact Dorothy Newell if you are able to assist.
