Tuesday, April 16, 2013

I left for the airport to come to Biloxi MS and Back Bay Mission less than 24 hours after the shocking news began to break out of Boston. It brings a host of feelings; disgust, anger, compassion, disbelief, helplessness, heroic responses to the hell that was unleashed on earth. I hold in my prayers the tender loss of many lives and such serious injuries, and what will be just the beginning of long term fear and repercussions from this act.

We must commit ourselves once again to be people of compassion and care, of kindness and a resilient faith even when we do not comprehend. Events like this push us to our God believing limits. Yet we still look to God for guidance in these twisted times of senseless violence as we struggle in the shadows to take the next step.

My prayers join your prayers for all those impacted by the Boston Marathon violence and recognition of those who responded without hesitation to the needs of their sisters and brothers on the street when help was desperately needed. They are the quiet unsung heros who inspire us in the midst of despair. They are the ones through whom God is working, and in these times we need everyone of us to carry the load and carry the light.

South Church Celebrates 175th Anniversary

On January 10, 1838, 70 women and men, along with Pastor Levi Smith, made the 1 ½ mile trip from First Congregational Church south to a new church along the shore of the Kennebunk River. In 2013, we members of South Congregational Church proudly celebrate our 175th Anniversary – 175 years of worship, service, teaching and outreach to our congregation, the Kennebunks, and our wider community. South Church has played a vital role in our personal lives and in the lives of those we reach through our many and varied activities. In 2013, we shall celebrate!

While discussions by the 175th Anniversary Committee are ongoing, we do have some initial plans in place for the year of celebration.

Sunday, January 13 - 175th Anniversary worship service

Friday, March 8 - an evening of food, fun and memories

Sunday, May 5 - 175th Anniversary Musicale

Early to mid September - 175th Anniversary Art Auction

2013 will be an exciting year – and an important year – for South Church as we proudly celebrate our past and look forward to our future.
