March 15, 2013

 This Sunday - We continue in the season of Lent, this being the fifth Sunday. Our scripture passages are listed in the Ashes to Fire book or you can read them here.


Also, Holy Week begins next Sunday with Palm Sunday. Our special services include:
Good Friday Service of Shadows at sundown (7:05 PM) on 3/29 
Easter Sunrise Gathering and Breakfast at sunrise (6:28 AM) on 3/31.

 Spring Potluck - This Sunday we will be having our monthly potluck after Sunday School. With spring approaching and it being St. Patrick's Day, maybe we should all think green!

Annual Meeting - Our annual meeting isn't until Sunday, April 21, but reports will again be spread out this year and begin on April 7th.

Ktizo Gallery & Nook - We have a new artist featured in the gallery: Beth Restrick. The featured works should serve as a "warming" presence, perhaps much-needed for some of you as we supposedly head for spring. If you haven't seen her stuff hanging up yet, you will definitely want to come in. Mark your calendars now as well for our public showing on April 14th at 4:00. More info to come.

 Partnership Update - We are only a few hundred dollars short and thus have almost met our goal of $12,000 for our Faith Promise year! Thanks to all involved for both promises and giving to this point. There are exciting developments in the area of our partnership with Vida Abundante as a group from their church may be visiting us this summer. Stay tuned for details!

Spanish Word of the Week - primavera, which means spring


  • Newtown Revisited: Violence and Peacemaking in our Communities - A symposium on March 17 and 24 2:00-3:30 at the Hingham Congregational Church.  On March 17th hear about the problem of violence in our communities.  On the 24th we will learn how to teach our children and one another how to be peacemakers in our communities.
