LET THE "HU" SONG TRANSFORM YOU
Get up a little early on Sunday and join us in the sanctuary from 8:15 -9 a.m. as Paul and Julie Olson teach us the "HU"song. Singing HU can expand your awareness, help you experience divine love, heal a broken heart, offer solace in times of grief, and bring about peace and calm. Come experience and share the spiritual gifts gained by singing HU, an ancient name for God. "When your day is hard, remember to sing HU. It puts you back in line with the Holy Spirit," said Harold Klemp in his book, "The Slow Burning Love of God."
