Families of Faith

By Rev. Chris Burtnett, Pastor, First Congregational United Church of Christ

Stating your faith

In the church that I serve our order of worship includes a time to say together out loud what is known as a statement of faith (aka Affirmation of Faith). It is a declaration of what we believe about God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, church and our response as disciples.

What will you choose?

By Brad Hicks

 

There is a wide gap between true selfishness and true selflessness. But the two concepts are separated by a hard line, a line that comes down to one of two choices.

Do for others, or do for myself.

Build, or tear down.

Believe, or doubt.

Trust, or forsake.

Protect, or attack.

I really was a knitter, once upon a time

If there were a contest to name the shedding-est dog in the world, I think Seamus would win, paws down. I’ll include a picture of him here, in case you’ve forgotten how handsome he is. He sheds all year long, but twice a year, for several weeks, he increases his production to buckets-full of hair. Enough hair to knit you an afghan, if I were into knitting afghans. Which I’m not.

Out of the Past - First casualty of the football season

By Gene Miller

150 Years Ago

To Teachers -- We have just printed a quantity of cards for teachers to take the place of rewards for merit, for distribution to pupils.  We think they are very handsome as well as very novel and appropriate, and something every teacher will appreciate.  They are printed on the very best bristol board, in purple and carmine. They will be kept for sale at the REPUBLICAN office and also at the post office.  Don’t fail to examine.
