This Sunday - Jeremy Stanford will be preaching this Sunday as Pastor Jeremy (Scott!) will be away teaching the morning Bible Studies at the New England District Family Camp.


No Community Dinner/Bible Study on July 4th - With many in our community gone during the July 4th holiday it was decided to cancel Community Dinner and Bible Study this coming Wednesday, July 4th.

Tumbleweed Gulch: Our Kids Week is three weeks away! -  Tumbleweed Gulch is a dry, dusty small town in the old West. It was an exciting place to be during the “good old days” of the gold rush. However, since the gold mines dried up and most of the people left, a long drought has nearly sapped the hope out of the people who stayed behind. But there is hope! Throughout the week, people will slowly change from feeling dry and depressed to buoyant and cheerful. The children will learn how the Western World of Tumbleweed Gulch is changed by God’s love and provision. Through stories, games, music, and snacks, the children will also learn how God’s love changes their lives, direction, attitude, actions and future!  Registration and more information is now available through our church website.


Community Sunday: Membership, Baptism, & Installation - Sunday, July 15th will be a special day for our church community. We'll be receiving new members, possibly baptizing a couple of people, and installing Rev. Dennis Scott as our Associate Pastor. There will be no Sunday School that day and we'll celebrate after worship with a potluck gathering. Plan now on being here for this exciting Sunday!


SAVE THE DATE!   Saturday evening July 21:  Family Night out at Paisano's Guatemalan Restaurant in Waltham. Authentic Guatemalan food and music. Details to follow

Would you take a few moments to fill out this survey? Copies will also be available at the chapel, but either way, please fill it out but once. Thanks for your help!

New Associate Pastor 
At the church board meeting last Monday evening, the board unanimously extended a call to Rev. Dennis M. Scott to join our church community as an associate pastor (yes, this is Pastor Jeremy's father). He will bring 40+ years of ministerial experience to help direct us in the things of discipleship as well as in many other intangibles. We praise God for this new relationship! Stay tuned for a date for an installation service. In the meantime, you can email Dennis here. Welcome, Dennis and Linda!

Partnership Meeting
We had a great report last Sunday from the team who visited La Iglesia de Vida Abundante and Gotitas de Amor in Guatemala a few weeks ago. The church board has set up Guatemala Partnership Committee to determine the manner by which we'll take this opportunity on in the coming future. We would love for additional minds & hearts to help in this process! The first meeting is scheduled for 7:00 PM on Monday, June 18, at the chapel.

This Sunday
This Sunday we will find out the results of the poll that determined which Old Testament character's story we'll hear from this summer: Abraham, Jacob, Joseph, or David. I'm excited about being in the Old Testament for the summer. The stories we'll look at will challenge and stretch us. Plan now to be here Sunday morning for the beginning of this series! - Pastor Jeremy

• Doug Gerber reports: "My Dad's numbers came back the highest they've been in years! The docs and nurses at Dana Farber officially call him 'Miracle Man'. He's already been a case study at Harvard Medical school. To quote "they've never seen someone have such a comeback from cancer and a combination of fatal autoimmune diseases." Much love and thanks for your prayerful and financial support. Don't know what tomorrow brings, but for today - joyful tears and CELEBRATION!"
