Acton Congregational Church

Most of us would prefer a world where what we see is what we get. We ask an honest question and expect an honest answer. We do the right thing and expect the right thing to come back around. We like life to be predictable, orderly, ours to manage. The trouble is that life does not always cooperate, and you have lived long enough to know it.
This Sunday we meet Jacob, who labored seven long years for the woman he loved and woke on his wedding morning to find the wrong sister beside him. "When morning came, it was Leah." Have you ever chosen Rachel and awakened with Leah? I suspect most of us have.
I will be honest with you: this sermon began in my own kitchen, in a particular spring some of us would just as soon forget. Empty streets. Birdsong where the traffic used to be. The smell of baking bread drifting down a block full of neighbors I barely knew. It was one of the loveliest seasons I can remember. It was also one of the saddest. Both at once.
I am not going to tell you what happened on the doorstep. For that, you will have to come on Sunday. What I will tell you is this: Jesus says the kingdom of heaven is like a seed too small to notice, like yeast you cannot see working, like treasure buried in a field you have walked past a thousand times. What you see is never all you get. There is always more going on than meets the eye.

Come and find out what the more turns out to be.Come and worship with us on Sunday, June 28th, at 9:30am. During this Fifth Sunday after Pentecost, as we welcome Rev. Karen Hodges to the pulpit. She will lead us in a service full of prayer, scripture, reflection, and inspiration.
No matter who you are, whom you love, or wherever you are on your spiritual journey, you are welcome at ACC, an open and affirming congregation.
Arrive early at 9:20am and enjoy our beautiful musical prelude. This week, our talented summer organist, Shawn McCann, will delight us with beautiful organ music to start off our worship!

Best Friends Girl – the #1 CARS experience
Best Friends Girl&nbsp;recreate the timeless hits of The Cars spanning a 35-year career, with over 23 million albums sold and having more than 22 songs on the Billboard top 100.&nbsp; The Cars undoubtedly left their mark in popular culture with notable hits like “Best Friends Girl,” “Shake It Up,” “Magic,” “Lets Go” and of course, “Moving in Stereo” which gained notoriety from its placement in the movie “Fast Times at Ridgemont High.”&nbsp;&nbsp;Best Friends Girl are comprised of lifelong, top-notch, professional musicians whose goal is to keep the music of The Cars alive with every performance!
The Cars' journey began with Ric Ocasek and Benjamin Orr collaborating on several projects in the early 70's.&nbsp; Ric and Benjamin eventually completed the lineup with Greg Hawkes, Elliot Easton, and David Robinson in Boston in 1976.&nbsp; In the confusion left behind from the death of disco and the angst of punk, they forged a new direction bringing together the synthesizer sound with classic rock and roll roots.&nbsp; It created a unique sound for the time and icon John Lennon became a fan stating,&nbsp;"I think The Cars’ 'Touch and Go' is right out of the fifties ‘Oh, oh…‘ A lot of it is fifties stuff. But with eighties styling.”

<h3>Into The Floyd</h3>
<h4>An Interstellar Journey Into the Music of Pink Floyd and Laser Light Show!</h4>
Into The Floyd brings alive the music of Pink Floyd by performing an authentic and diverse catalogue of the band’s music all the way from their earliest material from the 1960s through to their final work.
Based in New England (Central Massachusetts) and featuring a primary lineup of five multi-instrumentalists, Into The Floyd — formerly known as Gilmour's Breakfast — emulates the experience of a live Pink Floyd concert with fully immersive lighting and visuals that weave through the sonic tapestry of the Floyd soundscape.
While being able to perform note-perfect renditions of the band’s studio recordings, Into The Floyd also takes pride in re-creating classic live versions of the band’s tracks and will often create compelling hybrid editions of their own. Diehard fans will be happy to hear deep tracks, and casual listeners will know the FM hits.
Band members include Martin Stewart (lead guitar, vocals), Matt Swanton (vocals, saxophone, guitar, keyboards), Doug Alexander (keyboards), Max Christian (bass guitar), and Mark Kaefer (drums).
We don't just aim to please every fan in the audience — but instead to lure them into a suspension of disbelief where they are experiencing a true Pink Floyd concert.

128 Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric Stays Independent

128 Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric

128 Announces Local Independent Ownership For Good One question that Ryan Williams, President of 128 Plumbing, Heating, Cooling, and Electric, keeps getting is: “Did you sell?” and the answer is always In recent years, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and other home services have seen significant consolidation. In Greater Boston, 128 is one of the only home service companies that remain local, private, and independently-owned. This led Williams to seek out organizations that aren't just in business to sell, but to thrive long-term. He found the Tugboat Institute®, focusing on value, purpose, and people-driven businesses planning to remain independently-owned for 100+ years through their Certified Evergreen® status. 128 applied with the help of its entire team and received the honor of becoming Certified Evergreen® a year later. Watch 128's announcement here: https://youtu.be/g5rsiZW7B1k?si=KeR42U8H9GXnCJkH Does this impact customers? Customers want reliability and support for years down the road from their home service company, and choosing an independently-owned company can reduce uncertainties. Does this impact tradespeople? Ownership can influence company culture, communication, alignment, and priorities. With a labor shortage, it's important there are industry leaders willing to continually invest in education, which 128 is proud to offer its own school. Choose Local and Independent. 128 is proud to announce its continued local and independent ownership to bring stability and confidence to employees, customers, and communities for generations. Williams states that "128 answers to its customers and employees, not investors", and is not for sale. 128 Plumbing, Heating, Cooling, and Electric was founded in 1992 and is a top home service company in Eastern MA. 128 is known for its 5-star service, base+ membership, Finish Strong Friday®, and its Red Sox partnership.
