First Congregational Church News - October 18, 2007
Saturday Religion Page Listing For:
First Congregational Church-UCC of Williamstown
906 Main Street, Williamstown, MA
413-458-4273
Service of Worship at 10:30 am
This Sunday, October 21, 2007. The Sermon this morning "It's a Struggle" will be based on Genesis 32: 22-31 and Luke 18: 1-8, on two persistent characters from the Bible: Jacob wrestling the angel and the widow nagging the judge.
The Senior Choir, under the direction of Minister of Music Edwin Lawrence, will perform a Spiritual arr. by John Bell, "Over My Head" as the Indroit, and Leo Sowerby's, "I Will Lift Mine Up Eyes" as the Anthem.
In the afternoon we will carry through with the theme of persistence as we join with other Northern Berkshire churches in the CROP walk for hunger, a long-standing practice of Church World Service which raises money annually for both local and international programs to combat hunger. Interested folk can meet at 1 pm at the First Congregational Church (UCC) North Adams. The Williamstown confirmation class will participate in the walk, as will other children from our Sunday School.
Join us at 5:00 for a special "Global Vespers" service. This service will celebrate the universal theme of harvest. The music will draw on the rich traditions of congregational song from around the world. Expect to join in for the straightforward, reverent and joyous musical expressions people in all places have used to celebrate the fruits of the harvest season. Music will include selections from Asian, African, Hispanic and African-American Gospel sources.
At a time not yet determined - probably this same day - there will be a meeting for those interested in the project of sending books to southern Sudan. A founding member of S.A.F.E. (Sudan Association For Education) will be visiting with us and telling us how we can participate in this program. Call 458-9882 and leave a message for more information.
