Before we head out\, Rev. Tom will offer a brief introduction to the work: what we’re doing\, why it matters\, and how to go about it with care. Then we’ll walk a loop through the neighborhood\, finishing up by 1:15pm. \nNo experience needed. Just bring good shoes\, a compassionate heart\, and a willingness to show up. \n[/vc_column_text][nectar_btn size=”jumbo” open_new_tab=”true” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Extra-Color-3″ solid_text_color_override=”#FFFFFF” icon_family=”default_arrow” text=”Sign Up to Volunteer” url=”https://hillsidemedford.churchcenter.com/registrations/events/3868452″][/vc_column][/vc_row]

That means getting into the messy\, human history behind the text\, who wrote it\, when\, and why\, and what that history has to say about how we hold it today. A lot of that work is just understanding what’s actually in the book: the different kinds of writing\, the centuries it spans\, the arguments it contains with itself. \nSix weeks\, small group\, open to whatever questions you bring in the door.[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”30″][nectar_btn size=”jumbo” open_new_tab=”true” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Extra-Color-3″ solid_text_color_override=”#FFFFFF” icon_family=”default_arrow” text=”Sign Up” url=”https://hillsidemedford.churchcenter.com/registrations/events/3868137″][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Rally Sunday Worship
DESCRIPTION:Rally Sunday is the day we kick off the beginning of a new church year. \n\nA blessing of the backpacks for kids\, youth\, and educators as a new school year begins\, and a joyful kickoff to Sunday School. Bring them forward and let’s send them off surrounded by prayer and love.\nA message calling us to stretch beyond our usual sense of call. What does it look like to reach past what’s comfortable and answer God in a bigger way this year?\nWe’ll plant a new tree in the backyard\, a small investment in our future that will be growing long after we are.\nA sundae bar after worship. Bring your appetite and your favorite toppings.\nSignups! Signups! Signups! This year is full of opportunities: join the care team\, the facilities team\, or the tech team. Sign up to be a scripture reader\, greeter\, or even the all-important coffee-putter-onner.\n\nCome celebrate with us at Rally Day\, in worship\, music\, blessing\, and ice cream. You will not want to miss it.

She had spent most of her life in Cambridge\, a city that suited her perfectly: quirky\, intellectually serious\, and full of hidden gardens. \nRebecca was born in Concord on January 28\, 1946\, the daughter of Robert and Eve (Dyer) Ramsay. She earned a Master’s Degree in French Literature and spent much of her career at Harvard University\, supporting faculty in the Economics Department. But her education was never limited to what a degree could certify. She read continuously\, attended lectures at the French Library\, participated in French reading and poetry groups\, followed the politics and human rights movements of Central America with sustained attention\, and showed up for decades to a Suitcase Seminar whenever our denomination offered one. Learning\, for Rebecca\, was not a phase of life; it was her whole approach to it. \nShe also loved birds and animals and gardens with a devotion that was more than sentiment. It showed up in how she tended things\, how she paid attention to the natural world\, and even how she ate. Rebecca was a lifelong vegetarian and she avoided sugar with a discipline that most of us could not match (and she was not shy about recommending that others do the same!). \nThose of us who knew her from her decades as a member of Hillside knew her as someone who consistently showed up to serve. She sang in the choir. She edited the newsletter. She served on the Church Council. She greeted people at the door. She helped with coffee hour. She attended Women’s World Days of Prayer and women’s spiritual growth groups. And\, most telling of her character\, she volunteered to mow the lawn\, biking over in the August heat and refusing to use anything but a manual push mower. \nHer life outside the walls of our church was equally full. She sang for decades with the Somerville Community Chorus and later with the Senior Center chorus. She volunteered with Fresh Pond cleanup. She belonged to an organization that tended apple trees in Cambridge yards\, harvested the fruit\, and made applesauce\, returning some to the homeowners. She spent weeks of vacation cleaning up sections of the Appalachian Trail in exchange for room and board. She skied and rowed\, sailed and canoed\, ran races\, ice skated\, and danced ballet. She kayaked. She drew and painted. She printed her own Christmas cards by hand\, block print by block print. \nRebecca was preceded in death by her brothers Stephen and Robert. She is survived by her nephew Todd Newton Ramsay\, his wife Leann\, and a wider circle of family and friends who were lucky enough to have known her well. \nThere is a kind of person whose presence registers quietly but whose absence registers loudly. Rebecca Ramsay was that person. She never needed to be the center of attention. She was too busy doing the actual work: the mowing\, the harvesting\, the singing\, the showing up. We give thanks to God for a life lived with that much intention and that much grace. \nIn lieu of flowers\, her family invites donations in her memory to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF)\, honoring her lifelong love of animals\, birds\, and wildlife. Donations may be made at www.worldwildlife.org/donate[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Medford Porchfest
DESCRIPTION:We’re hosting two acts this year — Slappy Pappy (1:00-2:00pm) and Cassie Kollman (2:15pm-3:15pm). \nPorchfest is back for its fourth year\, and the premise is still the best thing about it: free music\, played outside\, in actual neighborhoods\, by actual people. No venue\, no cover\, no algorithm deciding what you should probably like. \nJust porches\, patios\, driveways\, and lawns — and whoever shows up.

SUMMARY:Hillside High Tea
DESCRIPTION:Come spill the tea – or just drink it. \nYou’re cordially\, casually\, and somewhat ironically invited to Hillside High Tea – an afternoon of delightfully over-the-top refinement… or at least our best attempt. There will be tea. There will be treats. There may even be pinkies raised. \nThrow on a big hat\, a bowtie\, a feather boa\, or whatever makes you feel extra – and join us for laughter\, conversation\, and a spread that would make the Dowager Countess raise an eyebrow (in approval\, of course). Come to sip\, snack\, and socialize – no actual aristocracy required. \nSIGN UP TO BRING HIGH TEA SNACKS

SUMMARY:Home & Heritage Potluck
DESCRIPTION:Everyone eats. But not everyone eats the same things — and that’s exactly the point. \nWe’re gathering for a potluck built around a simple theme: home and heritage. Bring a dish that means something to you. Maybe it’s what your grandmother made every Sunday. Maybe it’s something you grew up eating that nobody else at school had ever heard of. Maybe it’s the one recipe that still tastes like home\, wherever home was. \nThe table will tell the story of where we’ve all come from — which\, it turns out\, is a lot of different places. \nWhat to bring: One dish to share that connects to your background or upbringing. Homemade\, store-bought\, or somewhere in between. If you want to tell us what it is and where it’s from\, we’d love to hear it. \nCome hungry. Come curious.

SUMMARY:Cereal-ously Delicious Potluck
DESCRIPTION:Remember when Saturday mornings meant pajamas\, cartoons\, and a giant bowl of your favorite cereal? We’re bringing that energy to church. \nFor this potluck\, bring a box of the cereal you love most. The sugary classics. The fiber-packed grown-up picks. The obscure organic granola with ingredients no one can pronounce. We’ll set up a full cereal bar with milk\, non-dairy options\, fruit\, and toppings so everyone can mix\, match\, and taste. \nIt’s simple. It’s nostalgic. It’s surprisingly competitive. \nCome ready to share\, sample\, and maybe defend your choice.

SUMMARY:Open Mic Coffee Hour
DESCRIPTION:Open Mic Coffee Hour is exactly what it sounds like. After worship\, we’re turning coffee hour into a low stakes open mic. Music\, poetry\, comedy\, short readings\, stories\, or something wonderfully undefinable. If you’ve got a thing you’ve been wanting to share\, this is a friendly room to try it. We’re hoping for five or six short acts to keep things moving and lively. \nThis is not a talent show and it is not a competition. It’s coffee\, community\, and creativity in whatever form it takes. Come to perform\, come to listen\, come to clap enthusiastically. Stay for the caffeine\, the courage\, and the joy of seeing what your community can do. \nIf you have an act you’re excited to share\, please let us know by filling out this form:\nhttps://hillsidemedford.churchcenter.com/people/forms/1132403
