Summer Music Program – Classical Music for Elementary Students
Corinne Auger and a friend, Didier Lucceus, are organizing a week-long summer music program, which will will be held at the church and will introduce elementary school children to classical music. (http://musiclensboston.wix.com/musiclensboston) The church is graciously donating space and supporting the program, to be held the week of August 17th. The program is free for all participants, but does need donor support to cover expenses and to support the kids’ future musical endeavors. Please consider visiting http://www.gofundme.com/rg55w98 to support the power of music as “a primary instrument for the development of individuals and societies” (Abreu).

Prayer Request Email
The Deacons like to start a prayer request list that would be located online. We would set up an email list for folks to send prayer requests. The people on the email list would receive the request, and pray for whatever concerns or celebrations arrive. If you would like to be on the email list so that you could pray, please send an email to Ellen (ellends1313@gmail.com). Once we have collected email addresses, we will contact you with further information.

Embracing Differences: Mending the Isms and Schisms
DEADLINE: September 8, 2015
EXHIBITION DATES: October 4-31, 2015
LOCATION: Nave Gallery, 155 Powder House Blvd, Somerville, MA
CURATED BY: Claire Roll, Craig Milanesi
Is inequality the defining issue of our time? How does injustice show its face in our community? What impossible heights can we achieve as a society by embracing difference as strength? Racism, sexism and economic inequality are still systemic and deeply personal in America today, both influencing and influenced by global inequities. What does it take to mend the things that divide us? How do we let in the light?
The Nave Gallery seeks submissions that express an appreciation of the complexities of our differences, expose societies isms/schisms, and reflects the dreams for peace with justice in this world. We will consider works in the following media: painting, sculpture, photography, digital, mixed media, installation and performance.
