This Sunday - 
We've been counting down for months and it is finally here: Join us this weekend for Sabbatical Sunday! This special service will include some times of prayer over various individuals and ongoings for the summer, lots of singing (including the kids!). I will also share for about ten minutes about what I feel the Lord has for us this summer. I really hope you can be here for this important service. - Pastor Jeremy

Sabbatical Update -
There are less than a week to go before the beginning of the sabbatical period! Things are beginning: the interns have begun, the book study is soon upon us, our trip to Georges Island is upon us this Saturday, and we'll begin with a special send-off service on June 16th.

Wait a second...why are we doing this again? In the midst of the busy-ness of planning something big, it's good to remember why we're doing it so we don't get lost in the details. Now is a good time to read our sabbatical narrative proposal to refresh our spirit, heart, and mind as to our hope for truly coming to understand and practice Sabbath. Even though some details have changed from the initial narrative, it still gives a great over-view of why we're doing this. So if you've not ever read it or haven't in a while, take a look here at this link.

Hosting our Summer Interns - In an effort to welcome our summer interns, Andrew Jones and Rebecca Smith, and to make them feel part of our community, we would love to have members of our community fellowship with them throughout their time during the summer with us.  You can help by inviting Andrew and/or Rebecca to eat with you. If you are interested in welcoming them to your home for dinner, taking them out for a meal, or meeting with them for dinner at the chapel, please contact Heidi Parker.

Sabbath Book - Throughout the summer we will be reading a book to focus on Sabbath. Sabbath: Finding Rest, Renewal, and Delight in Our Busy Lives. The books will be provided for you, so there is no cost. But we need to know that you'd like one.

Georges Island Day Trip - This Saturday is our All-Church Outing to Georges Island. Those who are going should be at Long Wharf-North in Boston by 9:00 AM. We are in need of people who are willing to hold some food in their refrigerators overnight before the trip and/or carry coolers of food and ice to island. If you can help out with either of these, please contact Emily Fish.

Guatemala Update and Spanish Word of the Week - Keep checking in at the Facebook Group page to say hello. Our word of the week is descanso sabάtico, which is "Sabbath rest".

Co-ed Softball - The next softball game is  Monday, June 17. All men and women are invited to play. All of the games are played at Humphrey Field in Weymouth. And check the church calendar for all the games.


Other Reminders:
Saturday, June 15th

This Sunday - We will continue this week in a short series on the core values of the Church of the Nazarene: "Christian, Holiness, and Missional". With the quadrennial General Assembly coming up this summer, it's a great time to ask what these mean for us. We come to "Holiness" this week. While not exclusive to the Church of the Nazarene, this is a more distinctive term for us than "Christian." I hope you can come this week to hear about it! - Pastor Jeremy

This Coming Week: District Assembly
Every year the New England District Church of the Nazarene gathers for worship, preaching, business, to ordain ministers, to retire other ministers, and much more. You are invited to any aspect of the District Assembly week (Wed. PM through Fri. PM). The full schedule can be found here. *This means that we will not have regular Wednesday evening activities at the chapel on June 5th.

With the quadrennial General Assembly coming up this summer, it's a great time to ask what this means for us. We'll begin this week with "Christian". As it is also Trinity Sunday, the image of the Trinity will serve as a great lens through which to consider the distinction of being a Christian people. You can read our passages in preparation right here. Hope to see you Sunday! - Pastor Jeremy

There will be a new addition to our sanctuary this week. There will be a "Sanctuary Prayer" book in the back of the sanctuary in which we invite you to write the names of people or situations that we would like to pray for during our "Prayers of the People" time.
