Greetings, Friends,
After taking our son to his first year of college, I’ll back for worship this Sunday, after three months away. As you can see, I will be sporting my desert pilgrimage beard! Click here to see a few photographs from my sabbatical. I greatly look forward to reconnecting.
Faithfully,

Bible Study Begins on September 21 - Sign up today! |
The book of Acts of the Apostles chronicles the earliest days of the Jewish movement that became Christianity. Just as Genesis provides a foundation for Judaism, Acts is the foundation for our faith. Join Wednesday Bible Study as we spend the next academic year learning about Peter,
Paul, Jesus’ brother James, the Jerusalem Council in 50 CE, and so much more. We will explore how traditional Jewish practices evolved into the prayers and rituals we know as Christians. We use a discussion format results in deeply personal, meaningful insight.
Classes will meet from Wednesday, September 21, 2022-May 24, 2023. Choose from 10-11:30 AM both in-person and on Zoom or 7-8:30 PM on Zoom.
Companion texts are free of charge and will be distributed at the first class. Contact Ali Heard at office@ccneedham.org to register for this class led by Tracy Rubin, MTS, Harvard Divinity School.
