Welcome 

Thank you for visiting our website!

 

Her whole world was a small two room apartment.  She lived alone and was severely disabled with emphysema.  Her whole existence was spent traveling the length of her oxygen tube, from her bed to her kitchen table.  The stairs to her third floor apartment were far too steep for her to climb.  She had no family and visitors were few.....

We are a unique church, a mobile church, bringing the Gospel of our blessed Lord to the sick, suffering and disabled in a number of different locations, and we serve the North and South Shores of Massachusetts, in the USA, from Lynn in the north through Wareham to the south.  On Sunday mornings, as well as during the week, we offer worship services, Bible studies and visitation programs at a variety of church, nursing home and home church locations.  Please call us for more information or if you are interested in joining us.

In additon, please note we are earnestly and prayerfully seeking those who feel called by our dear Lord and Savior to a classic monastic life as we prepare, with great joy, the extension of our ministry in this direction.  Please don't hesitate to call, write or email us if you feel led in this direction.

Thank you and God bless you and keep you, now and always.

Soli Deo gloria.  Glory to God alone.

In His Care,
Rev. Martha Swanson, Pastor and Director

JESUS - THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD!

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. John 1:1-5

Psalm 42:1, 2, 5

1 As the deer pants for streams of water,
    so my soul pants for you, my God.
2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.
    When can I go and meet with God?

5 Why, my soul, are you downcast?
    Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
    for I will yet praise him,
    my Savior and my God.

Quotation by Brother Lawrence (1614-1691, Paris, France)

Author of The Practice of the Presence of God

"The most holy and necssary practice in our spiritual life is the presence of God.  That means finding constant pleasure in his divine company, speaking humbly and lovingly with him in all seasons, at every moment, without limiting the converesation in any way.."

"There is no greater lifestyle and no greater happiness than that of having a continual conversation with God."

"We ought not to be weary of doing little things for the love of God, who regards not the greatness of the work, but the love with which it is performed."

Quotaion by Oswald Chambers (1874-1917, Chapham, England)

"There is only one relationship that matters, and that is your personal relationship to a personal Redeemer and Lord.  Let everything else go, but maintain that al all costs, and God will fulfull His purpose through your life."

Announcements 

Have a Blessed Thanksgiving and Advent

God has blessed us so richly with so many gifts of bounty, the greatest being sending His Son to die on the cross for our sins.  Have a wonderful and joyful Thanksgiving! And have a blessed Advent season, which begins 3 days after Thanksgiving.  Advent is the very special and beautiful time of year when we celebrate the First Coming of our blessed Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and await His future Second Coming.  We prepare our hearts and our homes for the Lord through special worship experiences, prayers and the singing of special music, we put up decorations, share symbols such as the Advent wreath to strengthen our faith and redouble our efforts to do good things for other people in Christ's Name.  Have a blessed and beautiful Advent season as we prepare with joy and anticipation the coming of the long awaited Messiah, Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world and the very Son of the Living God, at Christmas.

Imitating Christ's Humility

"In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:

Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God to be something to be used to His own advantage, rather, He made Himself nothing, by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.  And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to death -even death on a cross!" Philippians 2:5-8
