Sunday Worship Service
Sunday Service
Our Sunday morning gatherings integrate traditional and modern practices to create a purposeful worship experience. We sing, stand for the reading of scripture, engage God’s word during a 25 minute sermon.
In this sermon series we’re looking at what the book of Lamentations has to teach us about the power and purpose of lament. Or, in other words, what do we do when our world breaks?
In addition to our normal worship, the first Sunday of every month, we celebrate communion together at the Lord’s Table.
Kids Commons
We strive to make Kids Commons a place where all kids can feel safe, be curious, and know they are loved by God.
Nursery is available each week for children birth to 3, and preschool and kindergarten are available each week for 4-6 year olds, which can be joined at anytime during the morning.
We invite 1st to 3rd graders to meet once a month on second Sundays, and 4th and 5th graders once a month on first Sundays right before the sermon for those who would benefit from that specific kind of learning environment.
SoulFood
Please join us after the service for SoulFood, a space to meet, connect, and engage with one another...all over coffee and a bite to eat.

Easter Sunday and After Party
Easter Service
It’s the best Sunday of the year! We pull out all the stops for our Easter Sunday morning service, and instead of having a separate Kids Commons class, this is one of the moments during the year when we all stay together as one united group.
On Easter we’ll add special instruments to the band, decorate the sanctuary with balloons and ribbons. It’s a festive morning!
Easter Party
Easter is the best day of the year. After the service, from 10am to noon, we’ll head outside for the biggest party we know how to throw. We’ll have baby animals to pet and hold, a giant bounce house, professional face painting, ballon-making, music, freshly prepared food, handcrafted coffee beverages for the adults and more. It’s all to celebrate the life we have in Jesus.
Kids Commons
On Easter Sunday, everyone, kids included, celebrate together during our main service. On your way into the service, make sure to grab a special gift that includes all kinds of fun and meaningful activities for kids of all ages.

Commons Youth Group Serves at Common Ground
All young adults 6th-12th grade are invited to join our youth group as we serve food at Common Ground Ministries. This is a great opportunity to serve our local community. Lunch is provided.
For more information, contact Margie Ferris or Zach Ferris.

Reset: A Time of Prayer, Connection, and Renewal
We're often busy, anxious, distracted, and exhausted. Sometimes what our hearts, souls, and minds need is a chance to slow down, sit with other people, and turn towards God.
Every month, we're going to offer this kind of space. We're calling it Reset, a chance to be renewed by God through scripture, prayer, and praise. You don't have to pretend or posture, you can share or stay quiet. The important thing is that we'll be together, turned towards God.
Whether you're seeking fellowship, spiritual growth, or a space to share your faith, all are welcome to attend. Childcare will not be available, but we welcome young people to join who are ready to engage in this kind of gathering. We’ll have snacks available as well!

Lunch with L'Arche
On March 23, Haverhill Commons hosts our 7th Lunch with L'Arche. This is a chance for us to practice our value of Solidarity with a beautiful community located right here in Haverhill. This is one of the best things we do as a church all year.
After our Sunday worship service, we’ll walk over to First Baptist Church where we'll share a meal, engage in a community activity, hear from some of our friends living at L'Arche communities in Haverhill.
We'll be serving a variety of soups (including vegetarian), apple crisps, hot apple cider, and warm bread.
We're looking forward to seeing you there!

Guys Get Together
More than half of men in America feel really lonely. It can be hard to find genuine, in-person connection, let alone deep friendships.
That's one of the reasons we've created a space for guys at the Commons to get together for food and fellowship. These gatherings are an easy, casual way to get to know and encourage one another in our faith.
This month we'll be meeting at 6 Spinnaker Cir, Haverhill, MA 01830.
We hope you can make it!

Ash Wednesday Service
Ash Wednesday
Ash Wednesday is a reminder that we are human. A reminder that we have limits. A recognition of our need.
Ash Wednesday is an invitation to hear and respond to the Gospel again, to consider the words of Jesus: "The time promised by God has come at last!” he announced. “The Kingdom of God is near! Repent of your sins and believe the Good News!”
Together, we turn our eyes towards Jerusalem and diligently, deliberately, move to the cross and onward through death to the Hope of the Resurrection on Easter Sunday.
Kids Commons
Rather than offer a separate service for children on Ash Wednesday, we welcome children to join us the service in the sanctuary.

SoulCare Sunday: The Rhythm of Winter
SoulCare Sunday
Instead of gathering in our normal space for Sunday worship, on SoulCare Sunday, we partner with Rolling Ridge Retreat Center to practice Sabbath rest in community and embrace the wonderful rhythms of winter.
The property at Rolling Ridge includes a quiet lakefront, green pastures, paths through the woods, two prayer labyrinths, manicured lawns, as well as gardens and community growing spaces. All only 10 minutes from downtown Haverhill.
A Spiritual Director will guide us through the spiritual practice of lectio in this beautiful outdoor setting . After some time in contemplation, we’ll gather to share our experiences of renewal and rest with each other, creation, and God.
This event is open to adults and children, just let us know how many are attending so that we can plan accordingly.
