“The Joy of Belonging”
Rev. Leia Durland-Jones & Rev. Tim Temerson
LINK TO JOIN THE SERVICE ON ZOOM
In celebration of our return from summer and the beginning of a new church year, we will share our ritual of water communion, explore our monthly theme of “Belonging,” and experience the sheer joy of beloved community. Today’s service is for all ages and you are invited to bring water to share during the water communion. Those joining on Zoom are encouraged to have their water with them in the sanctuary of their home.
Supervised play for children is NOT available on the playground during worship. Children of all ages are warmly invited to join the larger congregation for worship this Sunday.
A family-friendly space to participate in worship is available in the social hall.
All are welcome!
