 Sunday, May 28, 2017
Seventh Sunday of Easter
  
 Scripture Lessons: 
Acts 1:6-14
 
8:00am service -  Karla Miller preaching
10:00am service -  Guest preacher
 
We are hosting a neutral pulpit at the 10am service.  A neutral pulpit is when a candidate for a pastoral position at another UCC church leads worship in a neutral setting - in this case, Old North - providing an opportunity for the other church's Search Committee to hear their candidate.
 
We welcome our guest preacher and the search committee to Old North this Sunday. 
  
Our Vision Statement
Old North Church is an inclusive Christian Community called to bring to life God's love and grace by sharing the gospel for this time and place; extending the hospitality Christ showed; embodying God's love and compassion to those in need; and growing together in our understanding and experience of the Holy Spirit at work in our midst.
 Children's Church News              
  Last Thursday's celebration of the 200th year of Children's Ministries at Old North was great fun.  25 of us gathered in front of the church to bless the day and to ring in the next 100 years.

River of Life Concert Rocks On!             
The River of Life Concert presented by Endicott College, First Baptist Church Beverly and Old North Church in March 2017 featured the original composition "One More Step" sung by the Endicott College Singers and directed by our very own Rebecca Kenneally. The Endicott College Singers were chosen to enter the acclaimed WGBH television program"Sing That Thing" amateur singing contest. They placed first in the college division and were one of the finalists.Their selection for the final round was "One More Step". While not coming in first, The Endicott College Singers received high praise from the three judge panel for their message, quality of their performance and their enthusiasm.  Congratulations singers!   Congratulations Rebecca!
