We are welcoming Taj Smith to our pulpit this Sunday. He will be reflecting on the (sometimes unlikely) places from which we receive vital messages, and on how we react when we get a such a message. He will be drawing on the wisdom of Matthew 16:21-28, Exodus 3:1-15, and Psalm 105. 

Mr. Smith graduated from Harvard Divinity School with a Masters of Divinity in 2016. He is a member of the United Church of Christ where he is invested in conversations that will expand hospitality to transgender and gender non-conforming people. Prior to attending Harvard he had another life as a singer/songwriter and a professional street performer. He sees no limit to the imagination and seeks out creative ways to advocate for justice, usually through artistic expression. He is an avid sci-fi lover and a longtime musician. He also really likes hats.

We were visited in Boston by members of our Kolozsvar, Romania partner church this week! Assistant Minister Amelia along with Carol Kemp and Peter Sexton showed our guests Eszter and Sari Roman around King's Chapel and Parish House, and Peter wowed us all with his extensive knowledge of Boston's history.

Our Stewardship Drive continues to receive contributions, but we are concerned about Pledges to Date.  Our pledges and income are barely at the halfway mark, and we will need a total of $225,000 in order to meet our goal.  We are short $100,000 in pledges. Please pledge or send in your contribution now so that we can be sure we will meet our budget for this fiscal year. Thank you.
