This Coming Sunday's Sermon

"Feasting on God"

Matthew 22:1-14

What if you received an invitation to a banquet at Buckingham Palace... or a state dinner at the White House... or a Hollywood reception?  Would you go, or would you make up all kinds of excuses -- that you don't have anything to wear, that you're not important enough, that it's just all too much and easier not to go?

Well, God is throwing a party, and you're invited!  On the menu is a smorgasbord of unconditional love.  Dishes full of forgiveness.  Great mounds of grace.  Heaping helpings of healing.  Platters overflowing with peace.  Cups running over with mercy. 

Is your life empty of  meaning and purpose?  Are you hungry for forgiveness, for healing, for God?  Then come and partake of the feast!

We hope you will join us for worship this Sunday at 10 a.m. at the First Congregational Church of Stoughton, 76 Pierce Street, Stoughton, MA.  We are an Open and Affirming congregation of the United Church of Christ.  Look forward to seeing you at the party!
