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

Even in deep winter the light still shines through. The liturgical season of Epiphany runs from the the feast of the Epiphany on 06 January until Lent. Ash Wednesday, which falls on 18 February this yea, begins the season of Lent. During the season of Epiphany, scripture readings in worship focus on Jesus coming as Light for the world. Gospel readings recount the beginnings of Jesus’ earthly ministry, coming mainly from the Gospel of Matthew this year. This week’s reading from Matthew 5:13–20 continues in the “Sermon on the Mount”. Jesus tells his followers “You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hid. …let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.”

Free Community Dinners

Our next Community Dinner will be on

• Snacks (granola bars, cookies, etc)

Monthly Cereal Collection: Bring boxed cereal to the church on the 2^nd Sunday of the month, and we will deliver it to the 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 them; we acknowledge, and are called to reckon with, the history of violence against indigenous peoples. We commit to uncovering that truth and seeking reconciliation.
