A Strong and Supple Faith
A Strong and Supple Faith
Rev. Peter Connolly preaching Faith is a puzzling word for some of us--many of us, maybe. Today we will look at what we may meaningfully call "faith" and how it can help us move forward in our spiritual journey. Special music will be provided by a Family Choir singing “Ours Is a Simple Faith.” The choir is open to all, with a rehearsal before the service at 10:00 sharp! The more the merrier.

The popular perception of Scorpio is that those born in this sign are difficult at best, dangerous at worst.

Stolen Relations: Centuries of Native Enslavement
The 4th live event in the Partnership of Historic Bostons' series on New England Indigenous history will be streamed on Zoom.
