Salem Covenant Church

An Invitation

Established 1880

Please join us for our morning worship service beginning at 10AM. You may view the church calendar to see what other events are coming up.

Worship is the central most important act we do together as a church. Everything else we do as individuals and as a church body emanates from our honor of God that we collectively mark each Sunday in the service of worship. We come to give thanks and praise and to be challenged in our daily walk with the Lord.

Sunday School will resume on the Sunday after Labor Day.

Church office is open Monday and Tuesday 9-1:00, Thursday and Friday 9-2:00

If you would like to contact the Salem Covenant Church Nursery School, please call them at (508)853-9592

Salem Covenant is pleased to be a host site for the fall Beck Lecture Series sponsored by the Massachusetts Bible Society, Monday, October 25, 2010 – 7:30 p.m. There are five lectures throughout the state and we will be hosting the 4^th in the series presented by Harvey Cox entitled, “Where Paul Stands After the New Scroll Finds”.

Harvey Cox is Hollis Research Professor of Divinity at Harvard, where he began teaching in 1965, both at HDS and in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. An American Baptist minister, he was the Protestant chaplain at Temple University and the director of religious activities at Oberlin College; an ecumenical fraternal worker in Berlin; and a professor at Andover Newton Theological School. His research and teaching interests focus on the interaction of religion, culture, and politics. Among the issues he explores are urbanization, theological developments in world Christianity, Jewish-Christian relations, and current spiritual movements in the global setting (particularly Pentecostalism). He has been a visiting professor at Brandeis University, Seminario Bautista de Mexico, the Naropa Institute, and the University of Michigan. He is a prolific author. His most recent book is The Future of Faith (HarperCollins, 2009). His Secular City, published in 1965, became an international bestseller and was selected by the University of Marburg as one of the most influential books of Protestant theology in the twentieth century. His other books include When Jesus Came to Harvard: Making Moral Decisions Today, The Feast of Fools; The Seduction of the Spirit; Religion in the Secular City; The Silencing of Leonardo Boff: Liberation Theology and the Future of World Christianity; Many Mansions: A Christian’s Encounters With Other Faiths; Fire From Heaven: The Rise of Pentecostal Spirituality; The Reshaping of Religion in the Twenty-First Century; and Common Prayers: Faith, Family, and a Christian’s Journey Through the Jewish Year.

Trailblazer Past and Future Events

Posted on Wed, Feb 24th, 2010

Trailblazer/Jr. High – Check out the upcoming calendar of events for the next meeting date. If you are between the grades of 1st grade through Jr. High please come to Trailblazer/Jr. High on Sundays. Bring a friend and join us at Salem for a fun filled afternoon from 3:00 – 4:30 p.m.

Trailblazer Winter Retreat

Six youth from Salem attended the Trailblazer winter retreat held February 5-7, 2010 at Pilgrim Pines. It was an awesome weekend! The weekend centered around the theme called “The Flame” reflecting God who appeared before Moses in a burning bush. God told Moses, “I am the Lord, the Lord of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob” and “I have heard the cry of Israel’s people and promise to deliver them from Egypt.” Through guest speaker Paula Frost a message of “Stop, turn and go towards God” was emphasized. Paula also got the kids to repeat, “Don’t put out the Spirits Fire!” She reminded the kids to spend time with God (Go to church) and with other Christians to strengthen your faith in God. Several youth (including 3 of our boys) committed themselves to a life with God by placing a kindling on a ceremonial fire (unlit of course).

The highlights of the retreat were the excellent food, fun activities on the ice (Counselor bowling, broom hockey and snow gnomes). The inside activities included several ice breakers and mixers (Card swap, beans and weenies, whip cream and vanilla “Vanilla” and Human Snowman). The band from Pilgrim Covenant in Lunenberg made the weekend lively and spiritual (Great youth and adult combined band)!

Ice Cream Social

Held on Valentine’s day was well attended with 12 youth and 11 adults from Salem. We had delicious sundays with lots of toppings. It was held during our regular (Trailblazer/Jr. High) meeting time on Sunday’s from 3:00 – 4:30 . We played sardines and fruit salad, which are becoming two of our youth’s favorite games.
