Stewardship Campaign: Embodying God's Love

Help Old North Church embody God's love in Marblehead and beyond in 2027. In a world that is sometimes so confusing and full of pain, God brings love—and God chooses to use *us* to embody that love. In order for our church to plan for our life-giving ministry in the year ahead, we need everyone's help. Please prayerfully consider how much your family can donate to ONC's ministry in 2027, and return a pledge card (either on paper or online) by November 20. Pledge cards have been mailed to all households this week, and can also be found in the pews or online at onchurch.org/pledge

​Advocacy for Creation Care—The Old North Green Team is kicking off an initiative to allow our collective voices to be heard when changes to local and state policies are under consideration that can have a significant environmental impact. By opting-in, you will receive an alert from the Green Team when state or local officials are debating such changes. The message will include a link to a pre-written but editable email to the relevant officials that you can add your name to.  By making them aware of our concern for the environment, we can help influence their decisions. If you want to be one of our advocates, please let us know at greenteam@onchurch.org.

 

This fall the Isabelle Stewart Gardner Museum is presenting the exhibit “The Book of Esther in the Age of Rembrandt,” which should be of interest to the Old North Church members.

​

We hope to schedule two events connected to the exhibition. Reverend Christine Hribar will have a class on the book of Esther on Thursday, November 19 from 9-10AM. On December 3 we hope to plan a private tour at the Gardner Museum with the possibility of lunch there as well.

​

Let us know of your interest, so we can plan accordingly. Please send an email reply to Judy Eissner at jpe@juditheissner.com.
