Let’s be honest: We suck at community. Everybody wants it, and it seems only the lucky find it. If you do find it, the smallest conflict seems to blow it up. You can’t buy it, and you can’t get it delivered. It requires showing up. It’s not convenient. It is risky. Not only are we exhausted from loneliness and disconnection, but our society and democracy is falling apart as a result of our inability to do community.
Join us in the Music room as we continue our monthly series. We’ll look at teachings on prayer, ancient and modern, explore the difference between piety and devotion, and try out praying together in different ways. Belief is not a requirement - only curiosity. We’ve been developing a supportive, exploratory, nonjudgmental vibe and we’d love to share the experience with you.

We had over 100 people and more than a dozen organizations join us for the Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service. The first hour was a speed round where every organization looking for volunteers had 2 minutes to give a pitch about their organization’s work and needs.
NORTHAMPTON — Turning a desire for change into strong, lasting networks. That is what Rev. Marisa Egerstrom, senior minister at the Florence Congregational Church, sought to do when she organized the Martin Luther King Jr. Day service fair, which drew some 100 people looking for ways to make a change on Monday.
