This February, our own Prof. Yonder Moynihan Gillihan (Boston College) will offer the Eliot community and beyond an introduction to his unique Bible study. He will start by prompting participants to think about why we should study the Bible at all today, and what we imagine doing with the Bible after today. A weekly series of 4 short, 25-minute Zoom sessions on these questions is proposed:
Following this introduction and scheduled for Lent, Yonder will offer a more in-depth series on a particular book of the Bible–the Book of Revelation, by popular demand! The Introduction will be offered on four consecutive Sundays in February at a time in the afternoon yet to be determined. If interested in joining us, what time on Sunday afternoons would you be mostly likely to attend? Let me know at Revrick@eliotchurch.org. RevRick |

Have you ever had a vision? I would like to hear about it. Was it from God? Did it change anything about your life? Have you kept it alive? Maybe it was a vision of Christ or about Christ.
A vision is precious. Look what his vision did to St. Paul–! Maybe your vision didn’t exactly throw you and your horse to the ground. But that special moment, an insight perhaps, an inner illumination and warmth, could still be with you. I want to know about it. I had a vision and still do. Perhaps “vision” is too grand a word for mine–it was more like “a passing glimpse.” In the poem of that name, Robert Frost mused, Was something brushed across my mind That no one [else] on earth will ever find? I’ll share mine this Sunday. Would you? If you want to join us in our Zoom worship, let me know here. If you can’t, an audio recording of my message will be posted here afterwards. Let’s exchange visions! RevRick |

From 1.16.22 Worship ServiceTHE VIEW FROM KING’S MOUNTAINTOP.
DEUTERONOMY 34:1-8 THE LORD SAID TO MOSES, “I HAVE LET YOU SEE THE PROMISED LAND, BUT YOU SHALL NOT CROSS OVER THERE.” Martin Luther King saw everything very clearly. He always did. He saw it all very clearly that April night in 1968 in Memphis where he went to support the striking sanitation workers. Exactly one year before, to the day, King had given a speech at Riverside Church in NYC denouncing the war in Vietnam. That speech probably sealed his fate, and he knew it—King saw everything very clearly. He always knew who he was dealing with, as Blacks in this White society all do. Read More |
