Sunday

February 15, 2026

This Sunday we will take a look at Ephesians - a letter not written to one particular community but a letter that was meant to be circulated among numerous church communities. The central theme is “unity in Christ” -welcoming the Gentiles firmly into the community of Christ.

I am very much amazed how many NT scholars still call this letter a product of Paul’s hand and mind. While it picks up themes and thoughts that sound very ‘Pauline’, the definite acceptance of Gentiles into the church took place a decade or two after Paul’s death.

The letter to the Ephesians marks another step along the path of separation between Christian Gentiles and Christian Jews.

Ephesians is a quick read, so I encourage you to read it ahead of time. The sermon will focus on chapter 2, verses 11-22. A sermon title is still being ‘mulled’ over.

I am confident that the cold has moved on and we can gather again at 10 am in person and via Facebook Live.

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.

If you plan to have flowers delivered to the church for a Sunday Service please use the florist Judy's Village Flowers in Foxboro, MA. Their phone number is 508-543-4400. If you do not want to use Judy's Village Flowers in Foxboro, then you will be responsible for bringing the flowers yourself on Sunday Morning before the service.
