Worship

Join us for Sunday worship at 10:30 am in-person or online. In July & August we have been worshiping with the UCC church in Burlington. See our News & Events Page for Sunday’s worship theme, links to the bulletin, and the scripture readings. Lay liturgists assist with prayers and readings in worship. All are welcome to serve in this role.

Celebrating the Seasons

This Sunday, 21 December, is the 4th Sunday in Advent. The stories of Christ’s birth foretold remind us that he did not come into a world at peace, nor a place prepared to receive him. What makes you feel safe, when the world around you feels scary and uncertain? 

Join us for:

Our Christmas Eve Service at 7:00 pm and
Breakfast Church – 10:30 pm Sunday, December 28.

Free Community Dinners

Due to Christmas Eve, there will be no dinner the last Wednesday in December. Our last Wednesday of the month schedule resumes on
Wednesday, 28 January, 5:30–7:00 pm.

Our neighbors who live or work in Burlington & nearby towns are invited to our free, monthly community dinners. Come, share food and conversation, connect with neighbors. Meals are homemade, with vegetarian and gluten-free options. No donations or reservations are required. You are welcome to help with cooking, set-up, serving, etc.

• Cooking oil
• Snacks (granola bars, cookies, etc)

Monthly Cereal Collection: On the 2^nd Sunday of the month bring boxed cereal to the church and we will deliver it to the Food Pantry.

Black Lives Matter

Racism victimizes many people but has a unique impact on African Americans. We state clearly: God Loves Blackness. This truth has been denied by too many for too long. We align with love and not hate; we reject racism and proclaim that God delights in Black lives. (From – Facing Racism:  A Vision of the Intercultural Community)

Jesus Calls Us

This 3‑minute video encourages creation care, amidst climate change. We can make a difference and answer the call of Matthew 25 to care for the least of these.

Singing the Matthew 25 Vision

We have accepted the invitation of Matthew 25:31-46 to serve those who are hungry, oppressed, imprisoned or poor. This vision is set to music in the hymn Jesus Be With Us by David Gambrell, sung and arranged by Phillip Morgan.

Permission is granted to use the hymn
and recording in worship and online.

Land Acknowledgement

We meet on unceded, ancestral lands of the Mattakeeset and Massachusett people (including Nipmuc, Pawtucket, and Wampanoag peoples). We pay respect to those inhabitants; we acknowledge, and are called to reckon with, the history of violence against indigenous peoples. We commit to uncovering that truth and seeking reconciliation.
