Turns out three seconds is not quite enough time for the pastor to set the camera timer AND make it into the photo😂 Thankfully we got there!

Three years ago, our congregation dreamed of welcoming a staff member who would help us share the inclusive love and joy of the gospel more broadly, and who would help us use digital media to deepen relationships, strengthen our ministries, and create new opportunities to serve Jesus.

The Holy Spirit led us to Emily Mathews as our Director of Communications, and she did all of that and so much more.

Yesterday, over an absolutely delicious work-of-art antipasto made by none other than Jenny Healy, our beloved Children’s & Family Minister, we gathered around the table to celebrate Emily on her last day with us and to give thanks for the faith and encouragement, creativity and clarity she brought to us all as we navigated a new chapter of ministry together.

Emily has helped us build a digital ministry in service of relationships, community, and the gospel.

Emily, we thank God for the gifts you’ve shared so generously with us. We bless you as you go, and pray that wherever the road leads next, you know how deeply you are appreciated and how much good you have left behind✝️

Our staff members who were absent around the table yesterday were there in spirit☺️

A window into Camp.

This Sunday, our youth joined young people from Congregational churches across the South Shore for a meaningful week away from screens, set against the stunning backdrop of Lake Winnipesaukee.

What does camp look like?
Each morning begins with Morning Watch devotions, and each evening ends gathered around the campfire for Vespers, where songs, prayers, stories, and reflections bring faith to life.

For those who have experienced it, there is simply nothing like the Spirit of Camp—the laughter and friendships, the traditions and adventures, the freedom to be fully yourself, and the deep sense that you matter and you belong.

This photo of Youth Minister Eddie Rosado surrounded by members of our Youth Group, was taken on their second night, as they headed to the first dance of the week—an “Into the Wild” themed costume dance!

This past Sunday, Rev. Bill McCoy preached on how grace shows up in our lives.

Grace doesn't demand or overwhelm. More often, it comes gently — a tap on the shoulder. A lullaby.

And sometimes it looks like a pair of hands: hands that build, hands that serve, hands that pray, hands that pass grace on to someone else.

Have you experienced the grace of God this week? Was it in prayer or in another way? Share this with us in the comments or join us this Sunday for worship at 9am.

This Sunday, led by members of the Racial + Social Justice ministry team we’re taking a stand for love and justice! Just as the prophets before us, we won’t be silent in the face of injustice. Join us as we gather to amplify voices that echo through the generations, reminding us that standing for what is right is a call we can’t ignore.

Join us from 10:00-11:00am this Sunday, July 19, as we show our church's support for love and justice out front on the church lawn. Bring your own sign or use one we'll have on hand (no political signs, please). We'll move from worship to an hour of fun and fellowship on the lawn and happy honks and waves from passersby.
