Calendar
Board of Trustees is canceling Saturday’s Outdoor Church workday due to the expected poor weather conditions. Look for a new date in the future.
The Annual Spring Outdoor Clean-Up is set for Saturday April 21 at 9:30 am. You’re invited to pitch in on such tasks as raking, washing windows, parking lot tidying, trimming bushes, flower garden prep, maybe the sheds, etc… The results will be noticeable as well as gratifying. Thanking you in advance, The Trustees.
We will be learning from and discussing Days of Awe and Wonder by Marcus Borg. Books available at libraries or purchased. We will start with first chapter on April 15, but please come join the discussion, any week, whether you have read it or not! This promises to be stimulating. Subtitle, “Plan to be a Christian in the 21st Century.” Louise Brown will facilitate. We’ll talk about this book through May 20th.
Children & youth stay for the first 20 minutes or so, then are dismissed for Worship & Wonder (K-6th grade) and Youth Sunday school (middle & high school). (Nursery provided.)
Worship concludes about 11:00AM, with coffee and fellowship afterward.
