Children’s Sabbath Sunday

October 18, 2018
18 Oct 2018

“Children’s Sabbath”

Sunday, October 21st

10:30 a.m.

 

Clarendon Hill Presbyterian Church (155 Powderhouse Blvd) will participate in the national observance of the Children’s Sabbath, sponsored by the Children’s Defense Fund.  The focus of this year’s observance is:

 

“Realizing Dr. King’s Vision for Every Child:

Lives of Hope, Not Despair”

 

** We will have special participation in the service by our children!!

** We will honor Gale Morano for her longtime commitment to working with children.  Gale has recently retired as the Director of the Open Center (located in our building since the early 1970s), and has been Director for most of the years since its founding!

** We also invite donations of Homeless Children Backpacks, to be given as part of our participation in the Nave Gallery’s annual Wrap Around Sale (sale of knit goods to benefit the Somerville Homeless Coalition).

For this donation, you can either (1) put together a whole backpack for a child, filled with anything you think might be useful for a child to have in going to school (pencils, paper, lunchbox, water bottle, healthy non-perishable snacks, etc.)  or (2) bring items that could go into a backpack or (3) a backpack!!

[NOTE:  Childcare available during the service]

For further information about the service, please contact Rev. Fairfax at pastor@clarendonhillchurch.org

Second Annual Worship and the Arts Sunday

October 14, 2018
14 Oct 2018

Second Annual Worship and the Arts Sunday!!

Come this Sunday for a special service focusing on the relationship between holy worship, our faith and the arts.   We welcome a special speaker as we highlight our church’s continuing sense of mission and ministry to and with the arts — an essential and beautiful way of centering on God’s continuing creation with us and our world.

Guest Preacher/Speaker:  Professor Jim Zingarelli (B.F.A. Pratt Institute, M.A. Trinity College, Ct., Nicoli Botteghe Artistici di Scultura, Cararra, Italy) is a painter and sculptor who has been teaching art for 38 years and is currently Professor of Art at Gordon College, Wenham, Massachusetts.  He has also taught at The Salzburg Institute, Salzburg, Austria as well as The Orvieto Semester, Italy and The Carving Studio & Sculpture Center in West Rutland, Vermont. His work has been exhibited at The Kingston Gallery (Boston), The Andrea Marquit Gallery (Boston), Pepper Gallery (Boston), Vorpal Gallery (NY), Dartmouth College, Yale University, Berklee College of Music, St. Paul’s Cathedral, and the Attleboro Museum. He resides and works in Amesbury, Massachusetts.…

Scripture:   Matthew 10:7“As you go, proclaim the good news, ‘The realm of heaven has come near.'”

Sermon:     “As You Are Going: Art, Faith, & Process”.
The main scripture passage will be taken from Matthew 10:7, but there are a few other supporting passages from Matthew that I also hope to use. I’ll focus on the place of our faith and work as being ever “in the midst of”.  As artists, we explore and evolve any given work without exactly know what it will become, where it will be seen, who will ultimately see it and perhaps even invest in it.   Our faith walk is much like this, as we are instructed by Jesus, “As you are going…”. It’s  a process: our lives unfold, we encounter God’s presence, we encounter others, we learn more about this world we live in, we serve all three.  Our faith, like our work is dynamic.

This Sunday our own Claire Roll will be our featured speaker/preacher during the morning worship service.  As our Artist-in-Residence, and as a way of highlighting and supporting our congregation’s longstanding commitment to the arts, she will be giving our first annual Worship and the Arts Presentation for us.

It is also the Children’s Sabbath Day (begun by the national Children’s Defense Fund), so our children will be presenting an art project as part of our worship experience.


Please join us for worship on Sunday morning at 10:30 and for refreshments and fellowship after the service.

All our welcome to attend!!!   God bless you!!!

JOIN US FOR EASTER!!

April 14, 2017
14 Apr 2017

10:30 a.m.

Special Music:  John Adams (Music Director), Elke Jahns, Neil Parsons

Sermon:  “Shaken and Stirred”     Rev. Fairfax preaching

Matthew 28:1-10

After the sabbath, as the first day of the week was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb. And suddenly there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord, descending from heaven, came and rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow. For fear of him the guards shook and became like dead men. But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid; I know that you are looking for Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for he has been raised, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples, ‘He has been raised from the dead, and indeed he is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see him.’ This is my message for you.” So they left the tomb quickly with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples. Suddenly Jesus met them and said, “Greetings!” And they came to him, took hold of his feet, and worshipped him. Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid; go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me.”
