Sunday - This week in our journey throughout the life of Jacob, we come to his attempts to appease his brother, Esau (Genesis 32:1-21). Read the passage in preparation for the Word this week. In addition, Sarah has shared that we will sing this song this week. See you Sunday! - Pastor Jeremy


August Potluck - Our August potluck will be back on the third Sunday (August 19th). This will be our annual picnic at the Hingham Town Beach. Bring blankets, lawn chairs, games, etc. Oh, and food, too!

Guatemala Partnership - Thank you for your continued prayer for our church and for La Iglesia de Viva Abundante as we move into a partnership. We've had several meetings after our initial trip and we have some exciting things to share and ask for your help & participation:

  • On September 9th we will be having a special day to feature the art we received from Reyna Elizabeth, opening up the Ktizo Gallery for any to come and view the art. We will be having a silent auction to sell some or all of the pieces, with all proceeds going to Gotitas de Amor, the ministry to empower kids in Guatemala City.
  • On the weekend of October 13-14, we will be having a Faith Promise Weekend. 
  • And in the distant, but not-too-distant future, we are hoping to send another group of us to Guatemala.
Stay tuned for more information on all of this and how you can help or participate! In the meantime, keep praying for the partnership. Oh, and introducing...

Your Spanish Word of the Week - iglesia (click to hear the pronunciation); This beautiful word is the word for "church." Some of you might recognize it deriving from the Greek word ekklesia which literally means "an assembly of people." And the name of the church we're partnering with is La Iglesia de Vida Abundante ("The Church of Abundant Life").


  • Our Minister of Worship is moving from one apartment to another in Quincy (just a few blocks apart) on August 31. If you can, plan on helping that day!
  • The church board will be meeting on Monday evening (8/6) at 6:30 PM.
  • Ladies Craft Night is scheduled for Tuesday evening (8/7) at 7:00 PM.
  • As always, please let us know how your church can be praying for you. Send an email to Pastor Jeremy with any updates or concerns.
