"Do Unto Others" Series Begins Sunday, September 22

Watch Live

Rarely is the work of encouragement so obvious as it was this morning as folks lined Main Street to cheer on long-distance runner and Nashua resident, Matty Gregg, who is running from the Pheasant Lane Mall to the Canadian border to raise funds for food insecurity. His epic 230-mile journey included plenty of local sponsors who made the run possible but this morning was all about involving as many people as possible in the work. Some ran a couple miles on Main Street with him, others, like me, cheered them on from the sidewalk.

It reminded me of the Jewish teaching from Pirkei Avot that says "It is not on you to complete the work, neither are you free to desist from it." We all have a role to play. We may not be able to do the grand gesture but we can encourage others on the way.

In our "Do Unto Series" Sunday, we're exploring "humility" as a necessary component of kindness to others. Peggy Drew is preaching and her lay speaker efforts are certainly an encouragement to me on a busy week and a blessing to us all.

We are sad to relay that Sharon Kilduff's father passed away yesterday evening. Sharon and her husband Kevin were staying in upstate NY with her parents. Her dad had been receiving comfort care.

We will send more details as they become available. Please keep the Kilduff family in your prayers during this difficult time.
