LETTER
FROM  JULY 2010
Reverend Dr. Ted Klein Senior Pastor Church on the Hill, Swedenborgian
Dear Members and Friends of the Church on the Hill: The church year just completed has been one on important growth and stabilizing. We have developed a structure each Sunday that can be counted on, with a class, church service, and lunch. Different ones of you may be away for parts of the summer. I myself will be away at times. The church will be there and continue through all our comings and goings. Except for July 4, there will be a full church program each summer Sunday. The office will be staffed during each weekday, open from at least 10-2. The work of the church will continue through the summer.
I wish for each of you chances to grow and rejuvenate during the summer months! Also, I again invite each of you to consider what gifts you can share as part of a church community drawing on many gifts from many people.
Love and Blessings to Read more in our July Newsletter |

September is national "back to Church Month" which means it is time to get back into the swing of church life. We have been working hard all summer long to prepare ourselves for the upcoming season and we have a lot planned for the coming year. Between solidifying a Newsletter template, preparing Sunday services far in advance, and organizing events, we have had a very productive summer. Now we need your help in bringing more people to our Sunday services! Statistics show that non-church goers are 82% more likely to attend church services if they are invited by a friend or family member. This means you all need to get out there and start inviting the people close to you to come to our Sunday morning worships. September 12 is National Back to Church Day and therefore the perfect time to bring some new people to a service. We are counting on you to get the word out because the more members we have, the more we push ourselves to better the church. Thank you and God bless.
ATTENTION! Our very own Edward MacKenzie is being locked up for Good! Bail is set at $1,600 and we need your help! All proceeds go to MDA to help children with Muscular Dystrophy. We have until September 15, 2010 to raise his "bail" which goes towards helping kids with MD. He will be locked up at McCormick & Schmicks on the Boston Waterfront on September 15 and needs all the support he can get. This is for a very good cause and all donations, large or small, are greatly appreciated.
June brought with it another

Attention Members! The Church on the Hill is looking for photos from monumental moments in your lives, whether recent or long passed, for our September Newsletter. This idea was stemmed from the idea that not all members may be familiar with each others pasts, which often tell a great deal about a person. We at the Church feel it could be fun and interesting for us all to relive important moments in our histories together. If you would like to email or bring us photos from your past (weddings, high school yearbook, or something fun and different), we can all reminisce together about some moments that have changed us and made us who we are today. We are also looking for fun or interesting stories from this summer. We would love to hear about trips, events, or even fun ways you were able to relax during the heat.
We hope to get contributions from you all!
Photos can be mailed or hand delivered to
