It Just Takes Two

For the Fifteenth Sunday After Pentecost, Mitch and Barb will preach from Jesus's teachings in Matthew 18, which features his well-known saying that "if two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I."

Our 10 o'clock service is in-person only, and this Sunday's will include the celebration of Communion.

We will resume our regular schedule of two services next Sunday, Sept. 13. The 9 a.m. service will be in-person only and the 11 o'clock service will be in-person and live streamed on our YouTube channel at harvardepworthchurch.org. The choir will return to the 11 o'clock service next week, while Adult Forum and Sunday School for children and youth will resume on Sept. 20. We look forward to seeing you for any or all of these services!

The Ten Commandments Of Love

For the Fourteenth Sunday After Pentecost, Mitch and Barb will preach from the apostle Paul's Romans 12 message to Rome's early church about what love and commitment mean -- what Mitch and Barb call "Cliff's Notes Christianity."

Our 10 o'clock worship service will be in-person and live streamed on our YouTube channel at harvardepworthchurch.org.

Looking ahead, we will resume our regular worship and activity schedule on Sept. 13, with services at 9 and 11 a.m., our choir in the 11 o'clock service, and Adult Forum and Sunday School for children and youth at 10. We look forward to seeing you then and this Sunday!

Can You See The Real Me

For the Thirteenth Sunday After Pentecost, Mitch and Barb will explore Jesus's two questions of identity to his disciples, in Matthew 16: Who do people say I am, and who do you say I am?

Our 10 o'clock service will be in-person and live streamed on our YouTube channel on our web site, harvardepworthchurch.org. Looking ahead, our regular schedule of two services at 9 and 11 a.m. will resume on Sept. 13. Until then, we look forward to seeing you this Sunday at 10!

Changes

For the Twelfth Sunday After Pentecost, Barb and Mitch will explore Paul's teachings in Romans 12 -- notably his call to the Roman church -- and to us -- "Do not be conformed to this world," and to use the variety of individual spiritual gifts that we have, as members of the body of Christ.

Our 10 a.m. worship service will be in-person and live streamed on our YouTube channel at harvardepworthchurch.org. We look forward to seeing you!

Don't Stop Believin'

For the Eleventh Sunday After Pentecost, Mitch and Barb will preach from the Matthew 14 story of Jesus's walking on the water in the Sea of Galilee -- and his rescue of Peter, who stepped out onto the water and then doubted that he could do as Jesus was doing.

Just The Way You Are

For the Tenth Sunday After Pentecost, our guest preacher will be Johan de Besch, a pediatric physical therapist who's a member of Calvary United Methodist Church in Arlington.

Johan will offer his reflections for Disability Pride Month, which ended on Friday. From his work with children with cerebral palsy, Down Syndrome, and autism, and interactions with their parents, he says their view is "We are not broken, don’t tell us you need to fix us."

Our single 10 a.m. service is in-person and live streamed on our YouTube channel at harvardepworthchurch.org. We will celebrate Communion this Sunday. We look forward to seeing you!

Only The Beginning

For the Ninth Sunday After Pentecost, Harvard Divinity School student Ethan Kober will explore Jesus's Matthew 13 parables of what the Kingdom of Heaven is like, and how small, unnoticed beginnings can be the start of bigger things.

Our 10 a.m. worship service will be in-person and live streamed on our YouTube channel at harvardepworthchurch.org. We're on our summer schedule, so we won't hold Adult Forum or Sunday School for children and youth. We look forward to seeing you! (Art by Richard Dobbs)

The Waiting (Is The Hardest Part)

For the Eighth Sunday After Pentecost, guest preacher Graham Kelder will explore Jesus's Matthew 13 parable of the wheat and the weeds, which look the same until harvest time -- when the good and bad will be seen for what they truly are.

Graham is a Harvard-Epworth member and a certified candidate to be a United Methodist deacon. His sermon will be "Called to Discernment, Patience, and Healing, Not Judgment."

Our 10 a.m. service will be in-person and live streamed on our YouTube channel at harvardepworthchurch.org. After the service we'll hold our annual outdoor "dinner on the ground" summer potluck. We look forward to seeing you!

Anticipation

For the Seventh Sunday After Pentecost, Mitch and Barb will preach from Paul's teaching in Romans 8 that Christians should "wait with patience" for the Resurrection hope that they can't see. Our 10 a.m. service will be in-person and live streamed on our YouTube channel at harvardepworthchurch.org.

Looking ahead to July 19, we'll hold our annual summer potluck lunch on the grounds outside the church, if the weather is good. We will have guest preachers for the July 19, July 26, and August 2 services. We look forward to seeing you for any or all of the coming Sundays!

Our single, summertime service is at 10 a.m., and is in-person and live streamed on our YouTube channel at harvardepworthchurch.org. We don't hold Adult Forum or Sunday school for children and youth. This Sunday we will celebrate Communion. We look forward to seeing you!
