New England District Church of the Nazarene Gathering of the Saints
This Saturday, March 8, at 2:30 will be our annual district worship service: "Gathering of the Saints". I got a note from our district superintendent this morning inviting us all:

I would like to say that this is not just “another district event”. As I travel around this great district, I am blessed to see so many different people who are called Nazarenes... We as a body of believers need to come together and experience worship together! The Lord himself wanted people around Him and gathered them unto Himself... We need to come together to worship as a broader community of believers! Could you please re-consider and re-check your schedule and come and be blessed. I sometimes hear people say that they don’t feel connected to the church or to this great movement! You have to be present and “at the table" to partake and be a part! The sole purpose of the Gathering is for us to be together as a worshiping body of believers!

Please Come! Please Connect! Please Contribute by your presence! The service is Saturday, March 8, 2008 from 2:30 to 5:30 at 188 Elliott Street in Danvers, Ma. At the Living Hope Church of the Nazarene!

Hoping and praying that I will see you at the gathering!

Dr. Jossie Owens


A NEW WORSHIP GATHERING -
The Remembrance

Next Sunday, March 16th will bring North Street the first of our new worship gathering (we had to postpone last month). Christ said few things about our corporate worship gatherings. But one thing that he did say is that when we gather together for communion, we are doing it "in remembrance of him." We'll look together at what this "remembrance" means and what it might look like. A word of expectation: this worship gathering will be quite different than what most of us are used to. Everyone is invited to come. Expect little, but expect to worship as the gathered body of Christ.

Local Mission Trip
We are less than a month away from our local mission trip. We will be going to perform a number of projects at the Dorchester Immanuel Church of the Nazarene. There are projects for all ability levels! The dates are: Friday night, April 4th, Saturday, April 5th, and then on Sunday, April 6th in the evening, we will be worshiping together in Dorchester with the Immanuel Church. Mark your calendars now and plan for this opportunity!
