My church from my upstairs window. Church wasn’t closed today: we just went on line instead of into the sanctuary. Rev. Thomas O’Brien of the Congregational Church of Sudbury and Rev. Marjorie Matty of First Parish Sudbury had planned a pulpit swap, but due to the snow storm, they created a joint worship service and conversation on Google Hangouts. Along Rev. Marta Valentine of First Church Unitarian Littleton, they shared thoughts about civility and loving our neighbor. In summary, they agreed that the golden rule is at the foundation of all religions, and that civility is based on active listening and honesty with self and others.
Community involvement was limited to comments sent in by parishioners and read by Rev. Marjorie. Although there was music and prayer at the start and end, I’d have to say the service was heavy on sermon/message and light on worship.
No question we need to think outside the box about church. This is a start, an awesome one. I am very grateful to the these three ground breakers.
The sun is now out, but you can still go to church. Give it a try at:
