1. This Sunday - We're to the third beatitude this week: "Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth." For this week's supplemental readings, see our community scripture way. And for all the past sermons and CSWs, click here.

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, I am seeking individuals who would be willing to read a book on prayer and report to us what they 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. Email me to let me know if you're willing to help us out with this. I will develop a schedule for reporting once most of the books are assigned. 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 - Just a reminder that 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:
* 6-inch plastic plates
* 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. Do you enjoy working with kids? Volunteers are needed to work with the young children of our church family.  For the summer months of July and August, volunteers are needed to help assist Christina during Sunday School time. Starting in September, we would like to be able to split the growing Sunday School class into two groups, so we will need someone willing to teach as well as people to assist.  If you would like to be involved please contact Dawn Haskell.

6. Sunday, July 17 - Two things are happening in addition to our regular Sunday schedule. (This is just in ONE week!):
First, right after service we will be having a potluck.  This month's potluck will take place at the Hingham Bathing Beach (ask someone for directions).  There are no grill usage allowed so everything must be heated before leaving the church or just picnic style things brought.  There is a sign-up sheet in the church foyer.
Second, our church is embarking on a new ministry endeavor through Global Partnership. Rev. Lora Wooster will be coming to share with us the possibilities of this ministry and introducing us to how it can work for our church. 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.

7. 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.
