Worship with Us! Sixth Sunday after Pentecost, Featuring Musical Guest Ken Feit

It begins, of all places, in a mud puddle in rural Maine. I was four years old, and the thing I loved most in the world was a yellow Tonka truck — until the morning it broke, and a stranger's child was to blame. What my father did next did not seem fair to me at all. It took me the better part of a lifetime to understand it.

This Sunday I am going to tell you that story, and then I am going to ask why the children in Jesus' strange little parable will neither dance nor mourn. They have said no to the music. And I think I know why, because I have done it too — chased the toy, the answer, the thing I was sure would finally satisfy, only to hold it at last and feel nothing stir.

There is a question underneath all of it, and Jesus is asking it of every generation. I will not give it away here. Come Sunday and bring whatever is stirring in you. We will follow it together.

Come and worship with us on Sunday, July 5th, at 9:30am. During this Sixth Sunday after Pentecost, as we welcome Rev. Karen Hodges to the pulpit. She will lead us in a service full of prayer, scripture, reflection, inspiration, and communion.

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! We welcome our musical guest, Ken Feit and his banjo, during our summer music series. 

Can't join us in person? You can also join us virtually through our livestream options: Livestream | Acton Congregational
