 October 4, Congregational Retreat
Feed the Hungry; House the Homeless; Keep the
Creation. If you read Matthew, Isaiah, and Genesis you'll find
these values constantly emphasized at the heart of Judeo-Christian
faith, community life, and personal call. This summer some leaders in
our parish are preparing a congregational conversation for early fall
to discern if these may be our three central values for worship,
prayer, and mission activity. Perhaps you could pray about it
over the summer. What would it mean if we said this? Why would we do
so? How would we act?
October 5, Worship 10 AM
Christian Education after worship. Adult Ed.

October 19, Worship 10 AM
Christian Education after worship. For Adult
Ed., we are planning to accept our denominational
invitation to hold a sacred conversation on race. Ideally the fall
presidential election will move this conversation forward, but in
any event it is important to our faith. In October we will welcome
one of the families examined in the PBS documentary Traces of the
Trade about a New England extended white family that discovers
its history as slave traders. (PBS plans to air this award-winning
film on several times -- watch for it.) A companion book, Inheriting
the Trade, is available as well, and Ken Baily is reading it
currently.
