“This Sunday, Sept. 13, is Rally Sunday at Second Congregational Church, UCC.  While “Rally Day” doesn’t appear on any liturgical calendar, it is a day that our church community looks forward to as we come together after the summer to begin our fall activities, including Godly Play and youth classes. We gather for worship at 10 a.m., and everyone who collected water from their various summer destinations is invited to pour the waters together into the baptismal font.  All school children are invited to bring their school backpacks for a “Blessing of the Backpacks.”  Following this, children up through grade 5 will be dismissed for Godly Play, and the Middle- and High-school Class will meet.  Nursery care is provided throughout worship.  Rev. Mary Lee-Clark’s sermon, based on the readings from Proverbs and Mark, is entitled, “The One Thing.”

 

A time of fellowship and refreshment for the whole church family follows in Webster Hall.  At 11:35, those interested in strategizing responses to the European refugee crisis are invited to meet in the Clayton Room.  Eaarth Advocates also meets.

 

Second Congregational Church is an Open and Affirming Congregation of the United Church of Christ, and we welcome all people of faith or in search of faith to our work and worship, without regard to age, race, economic condition, disability, or sexual orientation.
