Sunday

April 27, 2025

I hope you all had a nice Easter celebration. We have “survived” the “Superbowl” of church holidays, and what comes now might feel like a let down. How can we top what we have just experienced?

I don’t think we have to ‘top’ anything. Now we have to figure out what this all means for our lives - Christ’s resurrection, the appearances to his followers, his post resurrection advice and words that would give his followers the strength to continue his ministry which became theirs.

As we enter the Easter Season, we will wrestle with the question: Who are we called to be as People of the Resurrection? We will answer this question by listening to the words from the gospel of John in the coming weeks.

This week, we will follow the disciples into the upper room where they have been hiding out of fear, and take a look at Thomas’ encounter with the risen Christ.

Congregational Meeting

Please note that there will be a special meeting following the service on Sunday, May 4th, 2025, to review and vote on a motion to provide additional funding to the Capital Campaign/Historic Preservation Building Fund to cover the completion of exterior siding and painting.

Flower Chart

We are reinstating the Flower Chart. If you would like to bring in flowers for the altar on a particular Sunday, please fill out the chart located on the wall just outside the copy room and admin office.

New Parlor Artwork

Mr. John McGrath, when he worked at the town hall, was given two paintings by Stewart Klein, a long time Sharon resident. One of those paintings was of our church here in Sharon. Mr. John McGrath wanted to make sure that the painting got to us, so it could be displayed proudly. You can view it now in the parlor above the couch. Stop in and check it out!
