 This Sunday we'll spend just a bit of time meeting the Biblical figure of Jacob, one of the ancient Hebrew patriarchs. Jacob is the son of Issac and Rebekah, the grandson of Abraham and Sarah, and a very important figure in the Hebrew Scriptures. Jacob may be most well known for his wrestling match with God.

Flower Donations Needed
 The flowers that bloom in the Spring ... the Summer ... the Fall ... and the Winter, on the alter, pulpit or lectern, are placed there to honor and remember the loved ones of the Hancock family. Not only do they add to the glory of the service, but, after church, they are delivered and shared with those especially in need of a visual symbol of our love and caring.
To donate flowers for church, please contact Sally Wyman (scwyman@gmail.com or 781-861-1929). -Thank you.

Fall Herald Deadline is July 24th
We'd like to invite all committees to submit to this year's fall Herald. This year we're asking for more of an events listing. If you already know what events you have planned for the fall, we'd like to make sure we celebrate and invite everyone to participate! If you'd like to submit a reflection or something longer, you're certainly welcome to! But we hope that asking for events listings will alleviate some pressure. All submission and inquires can be sent to jane@hancockchurch.org.

Hancock Member Courtney Jones is Called to Jamaica Plain, MA!
Courtney was called as the first Associate Pastor of Hope Central Church in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts!
