In this Sanctuary-in-Action service for all ages, all are invited to join Revs. Leia and Linda in celebrating the joy found in the stories we tell, the songs we sing, and in giving joy to others. We will sing, dedicate the Giving Tree, invite everyone to give to the Social Action collection for Birth Sisters, and create “Blessing Bags” filled with gifts for people in need of a little joy in their lives.
