This Sunday at First Church we gather in the warmth of community in the Parish Hall. With Scripture lessons from I Corinthians and Matthew, we will look at the idea of reclaiming the name “Christian” in its original meaning: a generous community, looking out for the welfare of others, selflessly “being Christ” to others without judgment or sentimentality.
Second Hour, 11:20. An inquiry into the Captivity in Babylon: we mention the Babylonian Captivity from time to time, but what exactly is it? Hint: Hebrews, exile, and longing for home. (no…not Moses and the desert…even more disorienting than that.)
Next Sunday: The Drums are Coming
Experience the energy of West African drums and dance! Stay tuned for more information.
