What's Happening Here and Now
at Old
South: a Snapshot
Last Updated: March 12, 2010
- Get
Connected!
Saturday, March 13, 10 am - 1 pm, and Monday, March 15, 6 - 9 pm.
New to Old South Church? If so, you are warmly invited to
attend one of the two 3-hour Spring Connection Classes offered in
March led by Old South clergy. It's a great way to
meet others, learn about Old South’s rich history, and explore the
church’s many programs. Contact Rev. Liz Myer
Boulton at
<ejmyer@oldsouth.org> for more details.
- Spring
Forward! Don't forget to set your clocks AHEAD ONE HOUR on Saturday
night for Daylight Savings Time!
- It
looks as if we will need adjust to yet another growth spurt: Old South
will now schedule two
identical Maundy Thursday Worship
services, April 1st, both in the Gordon Chapel, at 6pm and 8pm. Click here for Holy Week Schedule.
- Sunday’s
Bread Utensil Drive: Old South Church is running a “Utensil Drive”
each Sunday during March for Sunday’s Bread. They are in desperate need
of sturdy kitchen utensils (serving spoons, ladles, carving forks,
whisks, spatulas and knives* (serrated and non-serrated). They also
need an electric knife sharpener. There is a box in the Gordon Chapel
for donations. (Please leave all knives with the Front Desk.)
- A new
potluck group has just been announced, the "North of Boston
Potluck." Their first gathering will be this Friday (TONIGHT!) on March 12th at 6:30pm in
Melrose. Click here for more
details.
- You
may also be interested in the "Who is
God?" Lenten program at our neighbor St. Paul's Episcopal
Cathedral (Tremont St.) on Thursdays at noon. Rev. Nancy Taylor will be
speaking on March 18th. Click
here for more details and full schedule.
- What’s a Sermon Worth These Days? At
the Fall Benefit Auction, among the items that
attracted the liveliest and highest bidding was the right to name the
text or biblical theme of a sermon to be preached by Senior Minister
Nancy Taylor. In the end, two bidders (Minister of Music Harry Huff and
Trustee David Vogan) won that right. On
Valentine's Day, February 14th during the 11 am
Festival Worship Service, Nancy preached "Harry's Sermon": Beloved
in Christ (based on John 13)....
And
on March 21st, she will preach “David' Sermon.” Curious about the theme
and text? Curious as to whether auctioned sermons sound different, are
more efficacious, or otherwise other? You know what to do. See you in
church!
- If you'd like to make a donation that
will
go directly to helping the relief efforts for the victims of the Haiti
earthquake, you can go to Old South's Online
Giving site and pick "One Time Donation" and you will see an
option for Haiti Relief. Thank you for caring.
- Rolling Food Drive: This
month, we are collecting plain or instant OATMEAL.
- We
are open seven days a week
free to the public. No matter who you are or where you are on
life's
journey, you are welcome here.
