This summer’s worship series will feature members and friends Reporting the Good News, however they see it in the world around them. We look to Jesus’ inaugural sermon (Luke 4:14-19) and Isaiah 61 for our guidance about what God’s kind of Good News looks like: liberation for all of us. Summer worship is at 10am in Willett Hall.
This Sunday, we hear from Carolyn, a church member who regularly participates in the protests at the ICE detention facility in Burlington, MA. One day on her way to the protest, she encountered an angel in the form of a just-released detainee.
“On a balmy September Saturday last year,” Carolyn writes, “I was walking to my usual Saturday morning gathering when a stranger came up to me, ‘can you help me get home?'” The experience that followed may have looked on the outside like a community coming together to take on the role of the ‘Good Samaritan’ (and it certainly was), and yet Carolyn reflects that in reality, this angel had Good News to share with her.
Join us at 10am on Sunday in Willett Hall and online to sing, pray, and hear the Good News together – who knows, there may even be some angels in attendance…
In faith,
Amy
