Sunday Worship, July 24
Creed
Proverbs 3:1-11

Join us for the fourth week in our worship series, "Hyde Park at the Movies", as we explore what the movie Creed can teach us about our faith.

For many of us, the spiritual journey is one that is difficult to tackle alone. Sunday, we will explore how just like Rocky mentors Donny in this film, we all mentor and guide each other in the body of Christ.

We will welcome special musical guests The Ambassadors in all Sanctuary services.

Sanctuary: The Rev. Justin LaRosa
Chapel and Magnolia: The Rev. Kim Uchimura
Movie Screenings Canceled

Due to unforeseen construction conflicts at the Britton Plaza theater, the remaining movie screenings of Creed and The Peanuts Movie will be canceled. In order to prepare for each week's sermon, we suggest you rent the movie and watch it at home or with friends.
