This Sunday - Sunday is the first and only Sunday of Christmas this year. Since it is also the last Sunday before a new calendar year, we will be observing a Wesley Covenant Service like we have in the past couple of years. The WCS is a meaningful way to begin a new year. You can read most of the words from the service here.
In addition, a new calendar year is often a time that people spend energy re-organizing life, assessing schedules, etc. If you are looking for ways to "draw nearer" to God in Christ, consider some or all of John Wesley's spiritual disciplines. I have written a bit about them here on my site. They would be useful in challenging you as you look to be formed more in Christ. Let me know if you have any questions or would like some direction in these things. - Pastor Jeremy
Spanish Word of the Week - navidad, which means "Christmas"
Fanny Crosby Senior Adult Gathering - The life of Fanny Crosby, who was blind from childhood, will be presented in the lower level of our sister church, the Wollaston Church of the Nazarene on Sunday, January 13th at 4:00 PM. The Rev. Ann Nelson (retired) will do this in the form of a monologue. Her husband, John is the co-presenter and narrator. We will sing about 10 of her songs. She wrote over 8,000 hymns, such as Blessed Assurance and To God Be the Glory. Anyone who enjoys singing hymns is invited. Sweet breads, tea, and coffee will be provided. An offering will be taken. You don’t want to miss this one!
Community Retreat - With the holidays coming to a close, it can only mean...our annual retreat is fast approaching! There are just 48 more days until we travel north to Windsor Hills outside Hillsboro, NH for rest, relaxation, and growth in fellowship together. Stay tuned for more details, but be sure to block out the dates on your calendar: February 15-18 (President's Day Weekend).
- Have anything to share here? Let Christina know.
