Weekly Update
December 2, 2016
Dear friends,
  
Join us Sunday morning for the Second Sunday of Advent  when I will preach on the "Peace" theme  of Isaiah 11:1-10 and the role of prophets, by looking at the eccentric character of John the Baptist  as presented in Matthew 3:1-12  We'll hear from the Once in While Choir, and gather for Holy Communion. On Sunday afternoon make plans to return for the Annual Christmas Concert at 4 pm and be sure to bring your friends!
  
Thank you to all the people who worked so hard to make the AIDS Week activities so special. Our Facebook page preserves many memories.  Thank you to the Outreach Committee for making it possible for us to bring together people from the First Baptist Church, the Unitarian Church and people from all over the County for a moving and memorable evening.  Cici Hunt and Heather and Kirby Salerno provided exquisite heart-healing music. I know I'll never forget one woman who wasn't from any of our groups standing at the altar in the middle of the chapel and speaking in a quiet, dignified voice as she said, "I light these two candles tonight for my sons Matt and Leo, who died of AIDS in 1992."  We ended with the chapel resounding with shouts of Act UP, Fight BACK, Fight AIDS! - but it wasn't about the past- it was about the present.
  
Be sure to Like and Follow our FACEBOOK page - Congregational Church of Needham UCC- you can see almost daily what's happening here.

Hope to see you Sunday!
