SUMMARY:The Longest Night Service
DESCRIPTION:The holiday season can magnify what is going on in our lives\, including pain and loss. “Peace on earth\,” or even peace in our hearts\, may seem an impossible dream. Sadness and memories may seem over- whelming at a time when joy and celebration are expected. The Longest Night is a service of hope for \n\n\n\n\nall who carry sorrow of any kind. Join us in this inclusive service\, during which we honor the burdens we bear and claim the promise of light that follows even the darkest night. We hope that the music\, readings\, candles\, and chants may help us to find the comfort we need and strengthen the connection we share. All are welcome. \n

DESCRIPTION:JOYFUL RESISTANCE \nLenten Series 2017\nTuesdays — March 7\, 14\, 21\, 28 & April 4 \nThis year’s Lenten Series theme is Joyful Resistance.

SUMMARY:Joyful Resistance Lenten Series
DESCRIPTION:JOYFUL RESISTANCE \nLenten Series 2017\nTuesdays — March 7\, 14\, 21\, 28 & April 4 \nThis year’s Lenten Series theme is Joyful Resistance. Resistance is a way of saying “no” to actions\, movements\, values\, temptations and violations to which we object. And it is a deeply spiritual practice. Lent is traditionally a time when we practice saying “no” to things which distract or obstruct our relationship with God. As Christians\, we are called to resist all that opposes the values of our faith. While we might not always agree on those values and how they are lived out\, our faith teaches us that resistance is an important part of our calling. \n\n\n\n\n\n  March 7\,  Spiritual Resistance\, led by Mary Lindquist\n  March 14\, Practical Tools for Resistance\, led by Ann Braden\n  March 21\, Artistic Resistance\, led by Susan and Paul Dedell\n  March 28\, Strategic Civil Resistance\, led by Maurice Harris\n  April\, 4 Joyful Resistance in Practice\n\n\n\nTuesday Lenten Schedule \n* 5-6pm\, Simple supper\, in the Undercroft \n* 6-7pm Program\, in the Meeting Room\n* 7-7:20pm\, Prayers & Music

SUMMARY:Joyful Resistance Lenten Series
DESCRIPTION:Last “Joyful Resistance” Lenten Evening Program\, Tuesday\, April 4 \nPlease join us for our final session of “Joyful Resistance” on Tuesday\, April 4.   Supper is served between 5-6pm\, program is from 6-7pm and night worship is from 7-7:20pm.   Because Ann Braden’s session on March 14 was snowed out\, we rescheduled her to speak on April 4 on the topic of “Practical Tools of Resistance.”   Below is more background about Ann: \nAnn Braden is a Brattleboro-based community organizer. She founded and leads the statewide advocacy group GunSenseVT\, which helped to successfully passed a gun violence prevention bill in 2015 and is continuing to push for Universal Background Checks. She also recently started the Local Love Brigade\, a group of Vermonters banding together to respond to incidents of hate with giant helpings of love. Inspired by the simplicity and power of sending love postcards to victims of hate\, nine other states have followed suit and started Local Love Brigades of their own. Ann is part of the group putting together the Windham County Action Network (WeCAN)\, which is focused on streamlining communication to help people connect and plug in to the good work being done by grassroots organizations in the area. She is a former middle school social studies teacher and lives in town with her husband and two children.

SUMMARY:Palm Sunday Services
DESCRIPTION:8 am Holy Eucharist\, \n10:15 am Holy Eucharist & Procession with Palms \n\nPalm Sunday\, April 9\, 8 & 10:15am.  This special liturgy at the 10:15 am service begins with a procession (led by a real donkey and some spirited music) of the congregation and the blessing of the palms\, commemorating the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. The Gospel reading is the complete story of the Passion.  The service underlines the contrast between the crowd’s joyous greeting of their king and then their condemnation of him—the contrast between shouts of “Alleluia” and “Crucify him!”

SUMMARY:Maundy Thursday Service
DESCRIPTION:Maundy Thursday\, April 13\, 5:30 pm – The word Maundy is derived from the Latin word\, madatum (commandment)\, and refers to Jesus giving the “new commandment” to “love one another as I have loved you” (John 13:34) to his disciples at the Last Supper.   The Maundy Thursday service commemorates the Last supper and often focuses on two things Jesus did at the Last Supper: washing of the disciples’ feed and the institution of the sacrament of Holy Communion.  The service ends in complete silence with the stripping of the altar\, in recognition of Jesus prayers in the Garden of Gethsemane and the despair and death to come.  This year\, we will begin with a “Dinner Eucharist” in the Undercroft with foot & hand-washing and end in the church with the stripping of the altar.
