4. Other Reminders

1. The Remembrance- The Remembrance is back for a one-time gathering on Saturday, December 17th at 4pm.  Join us for this candle-lit worship experience, taking some time out of the busyness of the season to observe advent. After the Remembrance, you are invited to come Christmas caroling through the neighborhood (about 5pm).  This is a wonderful opportunity for us to be a presence to our Hingham neighbors!  Bring a dessert or drink to share in the gathering room after caroling.
2. Global Partnerships- As part of the discernment process the North St. Community Church has been working with Lora Wooster in a possible partnership within MesoAmerica.  We had a nice meeting with Lora on Monday night.  There are many things we should begin to think about as we begin this process.  Included is a link to a document Lora provided on Steps to Congregational Partnership Development for North American Churches.  Other questions to consider are: What would we do and why we would do this? How would we accomplish it? (Money? Time? Activities?) What do we have to offer/talents?  What are our short term goals?  What are our midrange goals and timing?  What is our overall outcome/goal?  If you want more information please feel free to talk to Ed DiSante.  The next meeting will take place on December 19th after board meeting.
