Reign of Christ sunday nov. 25

This Sunday Nov. 25 is Reign of Christ (or Christ the King) Sunday. It is the last sunday in the liturgical year for Christians - as next week sees the beginning of Advent. We'll talk a bit about what kingdom means for us today. As always, Watershed starts at 7:30, but goodies are ready by 7pm. If you are back from thanksgiving visits - please come join us.

Last night we joined in with the Waltham Ministerial Association for an interfaith service focused on gratitude. Gratitude and what it means to radically welcome the stranger in our midst this year as we move through thanksgiving. Did the illegal immigrants we know as "pilgrims" really invite the Wampanoag American Indians to the "table" - or was it the other way around on that first meal of harvest harmony in 1621? And the call to find gratitude even in the midst of difficult life circumstances - check out W.S. Merwin's poem i read during the meditation: http://members.aol.com/notis/ceumc/witness.htm. May we all be grateful, aware, mindful of those who are in need, and at peace this week. See you next week for the regular 7:30 Watershed service.

Gratitude - thanksgiving service 7:00pm

Friends- please note- this sunday, Nov. 18 our Watershed service will join with the Waltham Ministerial Association for their Interfaith Thanksgiving service at 7:00pm - there is no 7:30 watershed service. I've been told I'll be giving the message that night however... so you may feel a bit of watershed anyway! peace, R

children & crow

Thanks to my brother Dave who came and spoke this past sunday. Montana stories and reminders of our true identy as children of God.

And some seriously amazing pumpkin bread...

Remember - next week there is an interfaith thanksgiving service at 7pm instead of regular Watershed worship. Hope to see you there.

saints n' tree climbers

What a special gathering we had last sunday! Thanks for all who came out - and for missing the first few innings of the Red Sox world series win. Thanks to Chris who came from Ecuador to speak to us about his work and that encouraging word that our God is simply all about relationship. Come join us this sunday as we celebrate the saints who have gone before us in this life and hear about a guy who climbed a tree. "How can I keep from singing" "when the saints go marching in!". peace!
