First Congregational Church of Leverett

This Sunday, February 5, the youth of the church will lead us in remembering and helping those who struggle for food, clothing and shelter. We will see a video that shows us it could be our next-door neighbor who is struggling. In fact, the video shows how easily it could be us.

On February 22 we begin Lent and the journey to Good Friday and Easter. It strikes me that we need more than ever to hear the call at the core of Jesus’ teaching: to speak truth to power and to help our neighbor.  We already do much. This Sunday, our youth will lead us a step further in their ongoing work to fight hunger. May we all follow their example and find our own new ways to help.
