Change in Tomorrow's Covenant Group!

This is a reminder that tomorrow we will be diverging from the usual. The Covenant Group WILL still meet at 8:00am in Divinity Hall, but we will be leaving at 8:30 to attend the breakfast hosted by EcoDiv (and our own Emma Crossen!). This event, featuring the fascinating Dr. Sallie McFague, will be a discussion centering around climate change and spirituality. Also, if you are interested, Wednesday night Dr. McFague will be presenting her lecture entitled "Cities, Climate Change, and Christianity: Religion and Sustainable Urbanism". The lecture will take place in the Sperry Room from 5:15-7:00pm. Dr. McFague is quiet a distinguished scholar in this field and this is a great opportunity to hear her. Enjoy and see you all Wednesday!

A New Opportunity for Fellowship and Service!

Something brand new gets underway at Harvard-Epworth on Wednesday evening, October 21st! We are working to form a new community of fellowship, service, study, and worship. Based on the biblical injunction to “Do Justice, Love Kindness, and Walk Humbly with God”, the community will meet weekly at 6:45 p.m. at Harvard-Epworth Methodist Church (right near the Law School!). We will begin the evening by sharing together a simple meal of hot soup, bread and salad. During our time together we will reflect upon acts of community service performed during the week and we will renew our commitment to act together for justice in our local community and in the world. There will also be a “study period” consisting of engaging discussion about what it means to be a “Progressive Christian” in contemporary America. Such discussion topics will include: “What does it mean to follow Jesus instead of worship Jesus?”, “The Problem of Religious Exclusivity, Inclusivity and Pluralism”, and “Taking the Bible seriously, not literally.” Each Wednesday evening will conclude with a celebration and exploration of our faith through worship and song. A team of leaders from Harvard-Epworth has been planning this launch for many months. We warmly invite anyone and everyone to attend this program. The evening will conclude by 8:15. Please come and just bring yourself!
