1. Sunday - We continue Sunday in the Words to Build a Life On series, focusing on what is often seen as one of Jesus' oddest sayings: Matthew 7:6 - "Do not give what is holy to dogs; and do not throw your pearls before swine, or they will trample them under foot and turn and maul you." What could he be saying? Come and wrestle together with this verse, both in Sunday School at 9:30 and worship 10:30.

Also, after the worship gathering, we will continue our conversation about our Global Partnership. We are in prayer this week about four opportunities that have been presented to us. Even if you can't come to the meeting right after worship (lunch as well), please pray for us as we seek the Lord's will.

2. North Street Community Retreat - Our fourth annual North Street Community Retreat at Windsor Hills Campground (February 17-20, President’s Day Weekend) is getting closer.  Everyone is invited to come! The ‘programming’ will be minimal to maximize our time of fellowship with each other as an opportunity to get 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 simple hotel-quality rooms with an individual bathroom. A deposit of $30 per person would be helpful as soon as possible. All payments can be submitted in the offering boxes in the sanctuary (but mark it clearly!). The total amount due is due the Sunday prior to our leaving (2/12).  The shared costs figure out as follows: 
  • $140/person, assuming double occupancy 
  • $190/person, single occupancy 
  • $70/child (4-12) 
  •  $90 for one night if anyone can only go for one night. (Further nights can be added later for the full amount, but not the other way around. i.e. If one pays the full amount, it cannot be reduced during the actual weekend of the retreat.)
The church board has agreed that we want everyone who wants to go to be able to.  So we’re asking people to pay as much as they can of the above rates and even more if possible to help out with those who can’t pay the whole amount.  If you are thinking of not going simply based on finances… please speak with Pastor Jeremy!  We want to try and work it out.


Coffeehouse with St. Paul's Church of the Nazarene - Coffeehouse (Open Mic Night) is coming to North Street on Friday, January 20 at 7pm!  We join the St. Paul's Church of the Nazarene (Duxbury) hosting an open mic night in our own chapel.  Come at 7pm for an hour or so of music, poetry reading, and more, and then stay afterward for a time of fellowship and refreshment in the Newell Gathering Room.  Please bring a snack or drink to share!  Let Sarah know if you'd like to perform.

  • Our friend Muriel Ross is in recovery in the hospital, keep her in prayer.
  • Joe Ann Wachtel had an accident last week and is still recovering physically. Pray for her.
  • Pastor Jeremy offers this prayer request: I'm praying for and ministering to a Nazarene pastor family from Kansas City who is in Boston for a couple of weeks for various procedures and surgery for their 7-year-old son, Jackson who has a very rare disease (Moyamoya) that can be operated on here in Boston. His parents are Justin & Sarah Oberndorfer. Please pray for them as you can. Jackson's surgery is today and as of this writing, he has come through great so far! They will have to stay in Boston for several days after the surgery. - Pastor Jeremy
  • This is - as always - the "season of sickness"! Prayer for all those who are affected.
