This fall, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum is hosting an exhibit entitled, The Book of Esther in the age of Rembrandt, which “illuminates how the ancient story of a Jewish heroine became a source of inspiration for people across faiths in the 17th-century Netherlands.”

On Sundays Oct. 18 and 25, we will revisit this story in our own worship, reflecting on its relevance for our time. Then, on Saturday, Nov. 7, we’ll take an excursion to Boston to see the exhibit. Look for a sign up coming soon!
