Calendar

“Coffee and Conversation,” a new adult sharing time will begin April 3 from 9:00 to 9:45. Each Sunday a leader will offer a different subject. Jeanne Bacheldor will kick-off this group looking at “Mindfulness and Aging, Are They Connected?” on April 3. Come at 8:45 for coffee (and possibly a sweet or two) as we toss around these current subjects. Be sure and check your bulletin and newsletter for future subjects.

By the way…adults–all of you–are invited to participate in one or all of these series of “themed” conversations this Spring. No books, no term papers, no projects! Just thoughtful conversations facilitated by informed leaders. Besides conversations on “Aging and Mindfulness,” facilitated by Jeanne Bacheldor, there will be “Our Endangered Earth,” facilitated by Tony Satriano. There may also be a Conversation about “conversations” with people who view things differently. What do you think? We welcome your ideas!

Children & youth spend the first 20 minutes with parents in worship, then are dismissed to Sunday School.

Worship concludes about 11:00AM, with coffee and fellowship afterward.

Today:

• Holy Communion
• Acts 9:1-20   John 9:1-12   “Changes of Heart that Change the World: God’s Unlikely Choosing”
