April 4. Community Worship: “Easter Becoming…. Awake Again”

Revs. Leia and Linda lead this multigenerational service celebrating the Easter message, awakening to what we are becoming as we awaken anew to our new future. The virtual choir will offer a new anthem. All are invited to wear Easter bonnets to the Zoom service, and join a drive-by Easter Parade past the Edgewood Lane entrance following the service.
