A note from Pastor Travis

Today we find ourselves in the heart of Holy Week. The events that unfold over the next few days are at the heart of our tradition and our faith. We worship a risen Christ and a liberating Gospel. We believe that God redeems our lives and calls for us to transform our world. 

Tonight, we celebrate Jesus’ last supper and the first Communion. What joy! Yet, that joy turns to sorrow all too quickly. Tomorrow night we will gather to remember the cross. We know the great pain Jesus will suffer. Such endings are hard. Yet, we also gather in thanksgiving and hope. Jesus’ crucifixion is not the end. Death cannot hold Christ. 

Easter is coming and, with it, a new beginning. Tonight, this week, holds promise – for Christ is here with us. 

Join us in this journey of new beginnings. 

Tonight, Thursday, April 17th – Maundy Thursday -7pm Worship

Friday, April 18th – Good Friday -7pm Candlelight Worship

UPCOMING: 

Our annual Yard Sale will be held on Saturday, May 17th, 8:00-2:00. You can begin to bring items starting Monday, April 21st. Please do not bring any items before that date. 

We will be having a yard sale organization day on Saturday, May 10th, 9:00-12:00. We need volunteers to help us bring items from the basement upstairs. There is a lot of stuff to move, so the more help we get, the better.

We will also need people to help price items, people to be there on the day of the sale, and those who will help carry unsold items away for donation. If you can help in any way, please contact the church office 781-662-7060.   

Blessings,

Pastor Travis
