An Inclusive Community Oriented Congregation in Burrillville

We, the fellowship of Berean Baptist Church, worship one God who is revealed and accessible to each and every one of us regardless of race, ethnicity, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, social standing or all other abilities.  All have been given the gift of accepting full participation in the Kingdom of God because God's grace, love, and mercy are given freely and unconditionally and extend to all people.  Therefore, we accept, welcome and affirm all as brothers and sisters united in striving to live holy and acceptable lives in the service of God's Kingdom.  
May our hearts as well as our church doors remain forever open and welcoming to all of God's creation. ​

Sermon Series for the New Year - 

Picture
Sunday January 8 - Epiphany
Another story from the Gospel of Matthew.  In this one Jesus is baptized in the Jordan by John the Baptist.  From the heavens the voice of God saying, 'This is my son, my beloved, with whom I am well pleased.'  
This weeks story gives us a good opportunity to think about the rivers we've had to cross, challenges we've faced, changes we been forced to make or had to bravely implement.  And also the blessing that makes crossing rivers possible.  
The sermon title is - Take Time to Be Blessed... We hope you will join us at 10am in the sanctuary or on Facebook live.  

Sunday January 15
We look at another version of the story of Jesus' baptism this week.  We listen to the way that John's Gospel tells the story and explore the titles that are given to Jesus; Lamb of God, God's Chosen One, Son of Man.  Our sermon is entitled, Meeting Jesus Again. 

We are excited that Berean's choir will performing and accompanied by both Director of Music Emma Latendresse and special guest Emily Cook playing the Oboe.  
​you can join us at 10am either in the sanctuary or on facebook live.

Sunday January 29
Jesus Invites Us Into God's Reign of Happiness
Sunday we will hear the beginning of Jesus's Sermon on the Mount, in which he announces God's blessing on the poor in the spirit, the grieving and the bereft of Justice.  Jesus tells the story of a God who is present reversing the fortunes of the forlorn and reveals the way for us to stay in touch with Divine Joy.  
Guest Soloist Ashley Palmer and English Hornist Emily Cook will perform a special piece for the offertory and Emma and Bill will lead us in singing, Great is Thy Faithfulness and Blest Are They among others.  
Worship begins at 10am both in the sanctuary and on facebook live.  If you wish to worship with us online, the bulletin and music along with the daily devotion and Bible study guide are below for you to download.
