Now it begins. This Sunday marks the real beginning of our 2014-2015 Program Year. The Choir is back where we need them to lead our praises. Brunch will be served, this week by Mr. Brunch, aka. Bruce Johnson. Elevator permitting (it's waiting for parts at this writing), the Sanctuary will be arranged in its "Cathedral Configuration." Most importantly, we will begin this program year by celebrating the centrality of Christ's Cross in our life and our liturgy, as the sign of God's mission to us and the energy of our mission in the world.
