For Future Generations: Hunger

For Future Generations: Hunger

In Matthew, Jesus addresses the crowds and declares, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness.” Can that possibly speak to this past week? I believe it can. Come be with us this week. We are not alone; you are not alone; God is with us.

Low: An Honest Advent Devotional

Low: An Honest Advent Devotional

In addition to the weekly Adult Study with Laura Myers, Crawford will offer an “At Home” personal Advent Devotion.
Using the book Low: An Honest Advent Devotional by John Pavlovitz. Participants will be partnered and encouraged to text, talk, email, or meet daily with their partners to discuss the simple, poignant, and practical day’s reading. Partners can be randomly chosen for you or you may join the Devotion with a friend.
 
Although you can join with a partner or even choose to participate alone, I encourage you to consider sharing the days of Advent with someone you may not know well or at all. I have done similar Devotions and although it was a little scary to be vulnerable with a woman I didn’t know well, I can tell you that I certainly knew her and myself better by the end of Advent! I found it both an enriching and joyful experience.
 
Participants will be offered discussion topics and questions to facilitate their devotion. We are hoping for new connections, new ideas, and new ways to connect with ourselves, others, and our God as we wait in joyful hope for our dear Savior’s birth.
Books are available for $5.99, HERE, on Amazon. If you are unable to purchase the book on your own — either from Amazon or your local independent book seller — let Stacey know in the church office (office@crawfordumc.org or 781-729-5056) and she will order one for you (in which case, we hope you will consider making a donation to cover the cost of the book and/or shipping).
 
 
 
If you plan to participate or have questions, please contact me via talk or text at 617-947-3161 or grab me at church so I can pair you up with a discussion partner!  Please join in…it won’t be the same without you!”

For Future Generations: Memory

For Future Generations: Memory

On this All Saints Sunday we will talk about how passing our memories on to new generations can help move us forward. We will remember the saints we have lost this past year, celebrate Holy Communion, and think about the legacy of Crawford’s saints that have brought us to 153 years as a congregation and 100 years in the beautiful space we now call our church home.

For Future Generations: Family

For Future Generations: Family

Every issue we face as a country affects the children; and everything that affects children affects family life in one way or another. So, in this sermon, we’ll look at the well-known story of Jesus blessing the children and consider what that might look like if we saw it as more than just a Sunday School story.

For Future Generations: Refuge

For Future Generations: Refuge

As we wade further into the biggest issues of our day and the choices before us that will shape the future for generations to come, this Sunday we will look at the migration of peoples and the challenges and opportunities that presents; both for those migrating and for the places that receive them. Both the Old and New Testaments have something to say about that.
