1. This Sunday (October 31st)

First, in the morning we will begin a three-week series on worship.  Our main text this week will be Genesis 4:1-16, the story of Cain & Abel.  In addition, we will be recognizing All Saints' Day a day earlier (ASD is on November 1st every year).  If you would like a candle lit in honor of a passed loved one, please let Pastor Jeremy know.

There will be a brief meeting following service for all who are interested in helping out with Sunday Morning Worship. This can include music, PowerPoint, Scripture reading, etc. All are welcome, even if you are not sure what you would like to do yet! Thanks! - Sarah Troxler

Second, because if is All Hallows Eve we will be holding our second annual community apple cider handout. We'll hand out apple cider and other fun things as families walk through the North Street neighborhood for Halloween trick-or-treating. Everyone is invited to join in on the fun. If you are able, unopened bags of candy are appreciated. We will also have snacks and games in the fellowship hall.  If Pastor Jeremy can figure it out, we'll have the Patriots game on as well.  :-)

2.  North Street Community Discernment of God's Mission
We've had two great hours of prayer the past two Monday evenings, praying first for "ourselves," and then our church community and any who's connected in some way.  This coming Monday we'll look specifically at Hingham and surrounding communities (7:00 PM).

The survey is ready to be completed by everyone.  Please let Jeremy know how you would like to receive and fill out the survey: 1. Online, 2. MS Word document (.doc), or 3. on a paper copy.  Please understand that this survey is a tool and not a goal, a means and not an end.  Answer the questions that you can as best as you can.

For all this information and more, see the website.
