"Souper Bowl" of Caring - 6:30pm, sunday Feb 3 / Ash Weds. Service Feb 6, 7:30pm

Friends, we've decided not to compete with Tom Brady & company this sunday, and so we'll gather at 6:30 at the church downstairs to watch the superbowl on our HUGE tv and simply share some fellowship together (be prepared for some serious anti-consumption/ US materialism running commentary from rob during commercials however...). Presbyterians focus in on hunger each year, and call for a Souper Bowl of Caring - so, please bring along some canned goods to donate for the Day Center and our homeless guests. Rob is preaching at the 10:45am service on the transfiguration - so come then for worship if you can.

ALSO- come this sunday to watch the game AND help burn some palms into ashes for our Ash Weds. Service on Weds. Feb 6th at 7:30pm at Burlington Presbyterian Church. We'll carpool from the church at 6:30pm that night.

peace.

Taize

Friends- join us tonight at 7pm for a service in the spirit of Taize. Songs, readings, silence, prayer, candles.

in the name of love

After helping serve a meal downstairs at the Day Center, we had a very meaningful interfaith service monday in honor of MLKjr this monday - thanks to those who came and helped out. Check out this clip we played in the service- http://youtube.com/watch?v=_HY-WfDPm7s - i'm warning you, this one is moving. Let's all continue to work for justice, end the unjust war our country is involved in- and spread peace in our communities. And thanks to Melissa for singing beautifully at watershed on sunday night! If yer interested, come hear me talk about "global warming and you" this Saturday at BU at 10am: http://www.bu.edu/alumni/interests/events/winterfest/schedule/

Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. 1/21, 4pm

In my book, the most important national holiday for the States is this monday, when we remember a true prophet of the 20th century. Come to church at 4pm on Monday for an interfaith prayer service to remember together, and be challenged anew to the call of peace & justice. Check out MLKjr's speach on Vietnam (hear any connections to Iraq??): http://youtube.com/watch?v=92-r05TH9qs&feature=related . Also, come to Watershed on Sunday Jan. 20th at 7pm for regular service. We may just hear from Andrew Mudge sing...

New Year- New TIME - 7:00 PM

Yes- watershed is now starting at 7:00PM - starting Sunday Jan. 13, 2008. We hope to see you this coming sunday! Last night, we lit the Christmas candles for the last time, and we thought together about the coming of the magi. As we each continue to seek out that star and follow it in our own lives, let's remember W.H. Auden's poem, "For the Time Being": "To discover how to be human now... is the reason we follow this star."

new year, new hope

Friends- peace to you this new year! May it bring about deeper realized wholeness and peace in our lives and in our world. Come this sunday Jan 6 for Epiphany. This is a day the church celebrates the wise-folk who showed up to Mary and Jesus, bearing gifts that recognized this child as the one ushering in a new kingdom. Let's come together to share our own gifts and help recognize this new kingdom here and now (and share some organic coffee...)
