New! Resources for Re-Gathering
Re-gathering Benchmarks: How will we know?
Wednesday, April 21, 1-2PM  
https://us02web.zoom.us/j/842659199

Join Dr. Aaron Young, who is a member of First Presbyterian Church in Quincy, MA, and Assistant Professor of Physiology & Biophysics at Boston University School of Medicine for a presentation to help church leaders in MA, NH, VT and ME think through the different metrics to gauge the level of risk of returning to in-person worship, including where to find the most up-to-date information.  

Catch up on the previous webinars in this series, co-hosted by the Presbyteries of Boston and Northern New England, to help you think about your congregation's return to in-person worship:

Vaccine and Regathering Part 1
provided information on the vaccine, herd immunity, and big picture questions to frame your community's discussion of returning to in-person worship inside a building.

Vaccine and Regathering Part 2
featured stories about different plans for return to worship from a wide variety of churches, framed by recommendations from the Wisconsin Council of Churches.

Death's One Day
(For Holy Saturday)


The tomb holds everything today,
all of the past from Eden's crooked tree
right through to stark, yet fertile Calvary's,
and any hope that still might lie ahead
to taste the fruit that flourishes
beside the flashing river.
A day for quiet cultivation,
watered well, of course, with prayers,
tears, plus the occasional bright ray
of slow but sure awaking hope
to warm the wintered soil
and light a path toward
tomorrow's garden.
