An Invitation
As we seek to be loving, connected, inclusive and safe as a community, we are taking a “layered” approach—layers of protection. One layer is that the vast majority of our congregation has already been vaccinated. Another layer is that we are doing as much as we can outdoors. A third layer is the Zoom option […]
Fall into Worship!
Dear friends, In the opening worship for our September church council meeting, I drew upon imagery from the book of Exodus—particularly the frustration of the Hebrew people as they wandered in the wilderness toward an elusive promised land. I chose that story because it resonates with our lives in the last eighteen months. It speaks […]
Renewed
Isaiah 35:1-7 Rev. Dr. Deborah L. Clark August 22, 2021 I love baptisms. I love opening our doors and hearts to friends who have never experienced the joy of our worship. I love the daunting promises we make. I love carrying a squirming baby around the congregation. And I love the water—something so every-day that […]
Tender-Hearted
Ephesians 4:25-5:2 Rev. Dr. Deborah L. Clark August 8, 2021 I don’t remember what day it was—sometime in the last month. I don’t even remember the particular stories on the evening news. Probably something about deadly wildfires in California and deadly floods in Germany. Maybe images from our southern border of families desperate for a […]
“Called”
Isaiah 6:1-8 Rev. Deborah L. Clark July 18, 2021 The picture was unambiguous–God seated on a high and lofty throne. Isaiah knew exactly what he was seeing. He knew exactly what he was hearing: the singing of the heavenly host, the voice of God calling him. Isaiah had many questions about this calling: why would God choose him? […]
Pandemic Learnings
Dear friends, As I write this, I am surrounded by piles of shorts and t-shirts, hiking poles and beach shoes, in preparation for vacation in the Adirondacks. I am looking forward to hiking with Jeannie the dog, canoeing with Fran (probably not with Jeannie), biking the rolling hills and eating fresh produce from local farm […]
More Than Walls
More than Walls Exodus 14:5-9, 21-25 Rev. Dr. Deborah L. Clark June 20, 2021 “Juneteenth is everybody’s holiday.” Rev. Dr. J. Anthony Lloyd, pastor of Greater Framingham Community Church, spoke these words at the conclusion of “Uncovering our Untold History.” The virtual panel discussion, held this past Thursday evening, was hosted by Framingham State University, […]
Do Not Be Afraid
Do Not Be Afraid Mark 6:45-55 Rev. Dr. Deborah L. Clark June 6, 2021 “Do not be afraid.” Moses spoke these words to the Hebrew people, as they stood beside the Red Sea with Pharaoh’s army at their heels. “Do not be afraid.” Elijah instructed the hungry, despairing widow. Isaiah comforted the exiles. A voice […]
