Child Care and Children’s Program every Sunday

 Sermon:  “Living Toward a Vision”

On this Reformation Sunday, we will explore some aspects of our vocation as people of God, beloved by God.  The story of Bar-Timaeus is an incredibly important story in the Gospel as Jesus heads toward Jerusalem; a miracle that is about more than regaining his sight.

Scripture:  Mark 10:46-52

They came to Jericho. As he and his disciples and a large crowd were leaving Jericho, Bartimaeus son of Timaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting by the roadside. When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout out and say, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” Many sternly ordered him to be quiet, but he cried out even more loudly, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” Jesus stood still and said, “Call him here.” And they called the blind man, saying to him, “Take heart; get up, he is calling you.” So throwing off his cloak, he sprang up and came to Jesus. Then Jesus said to him, “What do you want me to do for you?” The blind man said to him, “My teacher, let me see again.” Jesus said to him, “Go; your faith has made you well.” Immediately he regained his sight and followed him on the way.

“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]
