Welcome!


Pastor
Bill Albright and his message
We invite you to join us Sundays at 10 in:

The joyous worship of God,
following the teaching of Jesus Christ,
and experiencing the power of the Holy Spirit.

As you enter, you will be welcomed into our architecturally unique worship space with its historic Skinner pipe organ. But as rich a part of our heritage as these things are, the best part of your experience will be the people you will encounter while worshiping here.

We are an Open and Affirming congregation. We have a traditional service, progressive theology and educational programs for all ages.

Study Bonhoeffer during Lent

A five-week study of the life and writings of German theologian, pastor and martyr Dietrich Bonhoeffer continues every Wednesday at 7:30 PM.  This will replace our usual Bible Study Group for the short term, but meeting every week.  Please come with an open mind and be part of a welcoming group interested in learning! For more information, contact the church office.

 

Palm Sunday & Pancake Breakfast

Join us for a Pancake Breakfast in the Parish Hall at 8:30. Worship Service will be held at 10 AM and include distribution of palms.  Sunday School will be held as usual, and coffee hour immediately following worship.

Holy Week and Easter

Easter is a joyous time to renew your faith, and we invite you to visit us so that we can celebrate together.  We welcome all of those who are looking for a special place to worship on Easter.

Maundy Thursday Worship Service will be held at 7:30 PM on April 5, and includes the full choir with organ accompaniment.

Easter Sunday begins with a multi-church sunrise service in Robbins Farm Park, atop the hill with a gorgeous view of the rising sun. Our Pastor, Bill Albright participates with other clergy from Arlington.

Our very special and joyous Easter Service is held later in the sanctuary at Park Avenue Congregational Church at 10 AM.  The choir has been preparing for months and the lovely acoustics in our sanctuary will resound with voice, our historic Skinner organ and the triumphant music of trumpets.

There will be activity packets for children during the service for which children remain with their families rather than attending Sunday school for this special day.  An Easter Egg hunt is held in the church yard following the service.

All are welcome to join us for coffee, snacks and conversation immediately after service in the parish hall downstairs.

 

Flower Cross 3Flower Cross at Easter

The lovely flower cross, given to us by the former Pleasant Street Congregatonal Church, will be part of our Easter Service again this year.  Beautiful live flowers in the cross framework will adorn the front of the church throughout the service, and then each person will be invited to come forward and bring a flower home with them.  Celebrate our new tradition reborn from the traditions of the former PSCC!
