Greetings Wilmington Church Family!
This Sunday we will hear scripture from Joshua – "As for me and my house, we will praise the Lord!" and from Jesus as recorded by Matthew – "Then the kingdom of heaven will be like this. Ten young women took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish, and five were wise." The foolish took no oil with them. We will explore what it means to be prepared—to stay awake in our lives to the truth and hope that Christ brings even in the midst of difficult times.
Join us this Sunday in person or online! Invite your friends, family, co-workers and neighbors to come too!
This past Sunday our East Middlesex Cooperative Parish met for our joint Church Conference. We sat together by committee assignments to get to know our counterparts across the region and discussed our hopes for the church. Even before our facilitator invited us to exchange information, that was happening at many of the tables. We can do so much together! It will be fun to explore the possibilities together. The UWF learned that there are churches without UWF groups themselves and they plan to invite them to participate in upcoming events.
The next scheduled event is something that you may have attended last year, that is, the Christmas Sing-Along at Tewksbury UMC on December 20th at 2:00 pm. We are all invited to gather there that day to sing of Christ's coming birth and enjoy continuing to get to know our parish-mates. I hope you
join us!
In Christ's Love,
Pastor Cheryl
