For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life.
Indeed, God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world but in order that the world might be saved through him.
John 3:16-17
March 1, 2026, was Healing Sunday at Newton Highlands Congregational Church, UCC, and congregants were invited to join prayer circles and light candles after Communion.
The choir sang “There Is a Balm in Gilead.”
The Reverend Dr. Ken Baily spoke about ways that church members provide healing through mission projects like sandwich making and donating to Konbit Sante. “Jesus wants us to be conected to God and to each other,” he said.
For the postlude, organist Yevgenia Semeina played “Fugue in G Minor” (D. Buxtehude).
After the worship service, while confirmands gathered in the church kitchen…
their patient parents waited in the parlor.
