We welcomed the crew of 60 +/- young people and their advisers from Basking Ridge, NJ to our worship service on 7/14/2019. Their joyful energy was contagious! During this 17th annual visit, they will be working in the community supporting CHIP doing “whatever needs to be done” to help those in need. They are living at the Carpenter’s Boat Shop in Pemaquid while they’re here. A few pictures are in the carousel slideshow on this page.

THIS SUNDAY 7/14/19 begins Pastor Char’s summer sermon series on Creation. Based on her in-depth study of William P Brown’s book, The Seven Pillars of Creation: The Bible, Science and the Ecology of Wonder (2010, Oxford University Press) and Katharine M Preston’s book, Field with a View (2019, Iona Wild Goose Productions), and infused with her own 2016 sabbatical study of creation stewardship, Pastor Char aims to explore through Word, prayer, song and worship experience the urgent call to all humanity to recognize, value, support, enjoy and protect the wonder of all creation. Pastor Char hopes to bring her own sense of wonder about life, faith and science, theological study, experiential reasoning and her passion for nature and people to this summer series.
