“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.”
Philippians 4:8-9
In his meditation on Sunday, October 11, 2026, at Newton Highlands Congregational Church, UCC, the Reverend Ken Baily preached about the story of the golden calf, which was a false idol created by the Israelites while their leader, Moses, was receiving God’s laws for 40 days (Exodus 32:1-14).
The Reverend Baily spoke about the difficulty and the necessity of rule by law. “It takes commitment to build community,” he said. “There is right and wrong.”
For the postlude, organist Yevgenia Semeina played Concerto in G major, movement III (Vivaldi-Bach).
Kessely Hong had a fun time hosting fellowship on behalf of the Mission Committee.
