1. This Sunday -
Give us ears that we may hear them;
Voice that we may sing them;
Life that we may live them;
Hope that we may give them;
Hearts that we can feel them;
Eyes that we can see them;
Thoughts that we may think them;
...and tongues that we may speak Your words.
The above is a prayer from a song we will hear in worship this Sunday - Words to Build a Life On. It is mainly referring to the Beatitudes from Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, part of our gospel passage this week. The beatitudes seem backwards from many of the values held in our society. Some of them may even seem foolish. In our epistle passage this week, Paul acknowledges that the message of the cross (and thus the way of the cross) is foolishness to the world. We'll be hearing about these things on Sunday. In preparation, would you read our passages?
2. HHRLA Trip to Israel - The Hingham & Hull Religious Leaders Association is sponsoring a trip to Israel next year. There is an informational meeting on Sunday at 7:00 PM. For more information, see this article in the Hingham Journal.
3. Sound System - We are in need of a few people willing to learn and run the sound system during our gatherings. Some previous musical experience is helpful, but not essential. Please speak to Sarah if you're willing to help.
4. North Street Community Discernment of God's Mission - It's time to sign up for a discussion group! For all the info on the discernment journey, click here. If you have not yet worked on a survey, please contact Pastor Jeremy. If you have completed the survey or are already working on it, thanks! The surveys should be completed by January 30th and our discussion groups begin the very next day (we need more people for Monday evening's discussion group!). See the link above to see the dates & times for the groups, and email Pastor Jeremy to request a discussion group date.
5. North Street Community Retreat - Our third annual North Street Community Retreat at Windsor Hills Campground (February 18-21, President's Day weekend) is getting closer and closer. Everyone is invited to come! Windsor Hills Campground is just outside of Hillsboro, NH. All payments can be submitted in the offering boxes (but mark it clearly!). Total amount due is the Sunday prior to our leaving (2/13 - that's in TWO WEEKS!). We understand that these are abundant times for some and meager times for others, so as we have in past years, we're inviting all to do what they can to help pay for the retreat. If you're able, you're encouraged to give more than the actual amount. And if finances are the one thing keeping you from going, please speak with Pastor Jeremy - we want you to go! The shared costs figure out as follows:
- $135/person, assuming double occupancy
- $67.50/child (4-12)
- $10/child (0-4)
- $350/family (2 adults, 2 children)
- $180/person, single occupancy
