Lay reader Dan Tinen will lead the church service at First Parish of Northfield at 10 am on Sunday, October 3, with a sermon titled “A Transformational Church.” Questions raised by the service include: What is a ‘liberal church’? What do we have in common with other kinds of churches, and how are we different? Most importantly, what do we have to offer to a new generation? How do we set a course that’s effective in enlisting new ‘co-conspirators’ in bringing about the world we seek? Tinen says there are four important reasons for Gen Xers and Millennials to consider joining liberal congregations … and offers a caution about what to expect if they do.
The service will take place outdoors at the church, weather permitting, and also on Zoom. Request the Zoom link by email at fpnorthfieldma@gmail.com .
