From the Minister

The last few lines of the story are what I always remember. It’s not the first 55 verses, when Stephen gives a long sermon about Jesus. It is not the violent aftermath of Stephen’s brave speech: furious listeners drag Stephen outside the city and stone him to death. Click here to continue reading.

From the Bench

Looking Back

Celebrating EARTH DAY 2023

The Environmental Action Initiative hosted bell-ringing and an Earth Friendly Potluck Luncheon in celebration of Earth Day. A group of bell-ringers and sign-holders showed up on Earth Day itself at 11:00 AM to ring the Paul Revere bell alarm that we're in the 11th hour of the climate crisis. This past Sunday, friends and families came together to celebrate the food that sustains us and bring stories of current activities in support of the environment.
