|
Please join us this Sunday for worship at 8:30 or 10:30 am. Children's Chapel is suspended during the summer months, but children are invited to join their leaders during the first half of the 10:30 am service for structured and fun activities.
Sabbath connects us to God's work of blessing us. This week's spiritual practice explores blessing as a ritual for ending the Sabbath day. Use this week's quote to think about the blessing of Sabbath rest. Listen to the music as a form of silent blessing at the end of Sabbath time. Read the Sabbath prayer with the word 'blessing' substituted for 'quiet stillness'. Write a simple blessing on your calendar You can still sign up for Sabbath Keepers, our weekly email group by clicking here.
The two new Celtic cross windows in the sanctuary are given in memory of Peggy Reitman by her daughter Amy Reitman Vershel. The windows were dedicated and blessed on Sunday July 12th.
