CE Honors Our High School Graduates
The Christian Education Committee would like to honor our 2022 and 2023 High School Graduates, this Sunday June 4th. Gifts and cards will be placed on the table of the Gathering Place for both services to be picked up there on Sunday. Any unclaimed cards will be delivered.
Sunday School and Adult Sunday Morning Bible Study this Week
We will study Genesis 1:1—2:4a. At the beginning of time, God expressed delight in Creation and declared all Creation “very good.” The readings on this Trinity Sunday invite us to explore and celebrate the many ways God is revealed in and through continuing relationships within Creation. God entrusts remarkable potential to all that is created. New beginnings emerge as the community of Creation lives into such promise. Come and learn, come and discuss.
Sympathy
We extend our sympathy and prayers to Kristen McGaffin and her family for the passing of her mother this week. Please keep them all in your thoughts and prayers.
Jesus, All Day Long - Small Group starting June 5th
ADL Group is open to all who would like to make intimacy with Christ more a part of their every day…Jesus, ALL DAY LONG. This June, we will use scripture, imaginative prayer, contemplative and embodied approaches to engage topics of Rest, Abiding in Love, Peace and Unity. ADL Group will meet weekly, June 5, 12, 19 and 26, from 10 am until 11:30 am in the Parlor. Please email Beth Biery at [email protected] to register or to learn more.
Beverage Service During Summer Services
Effective June 4th through August 27th, the Deacons will be serving iced tea and lemonade instead of coffee. We will not be making coffee as last summer a tremendous amount was wasted. For those who need coffee, we will still make hot water and will provide instant regular and decaffeinated. We appreciate your understanding as we take a break from coffee making in an effort to conserve.
