Cambridge, 1648
September 15, 2019 at 10:00 a.m. Rev. Dr. Matthew Johnson In 1648, a group of lay leaders and ministers gathered at Harvard College in Cambridge, MA to create a covenant between them. How shall the Puritan Churches be organized? How shall authority be shared? And what is the church for? The decisions they made then still influence our lives–our churches, our democracy, and our faith. We’ll reflect on this legacy–including who, already living in the “new world”, was left out of their deliberations. Listen to previous sermons for free on iTunes or on Podbean. We provide religious education programs for children of all ages during the service, including a professionally staffed nursery. Join us at 4848 Turner St., Rockford, IL 61107. Our Mission: We care for ourselves, each other, and our neighbors and risk acting for justice. Our connections create self-acceptance, empathy, and empowerment in this inclusive and diverse community.
Our Vision: A loving congregation that connects. |
