Martha and Mary – Luke 10:38-42 Mary, Martha, and Jesus JESUS MAFA. Martha and Mary, from Art in the Christian Tradition, a project of the Vanderbilt Divinity Library, Nashville, TN.

Join us on Sunday in Ripley Chapel for worship as Rev. Christiane Dutton leads us in reflecting on the Mary and Martha story. Martha offers the gift of hospitality. Mary offers the gift of her presence. Which gift is better? We’ll begin worship a little before 10am and have a “hymn sing” – you call out any of your favorite hymns and we’ll sing a couple of verses. We’ll either livestream the service or record it for viewing afterward. Keep your eye on your email for links.

We have one remaining spot for August 9 and we’d love for you to preach, Sign up here!!!

We are the First Congregational Church in Winchester - A Christ-centered nurturing community, growing in faith, serving in love, welcoming all with joy.

For decades, we have celebrated our LGBTQIA+ siblings and their inclusion in all parts of our worship and congregational life. In 2001, we became Open & Affirming through the UCC, meaning we are liturgically and theologically committed to a public covenant of welcome.
