December’s Ministry Theme: The Gifts of  Mystery


“The Giving Tree”

Revs. Leia Durland-Jones and Tim Temerson

We worship in multigenerational community as we celebrate
our annual Giving Tree! Come and let yourself be nourished by story,
songs, and sharing as we lift each other’s spirits this season.
What gifts does mystery have to offer us as we prepare for
winter celebrations as well as for times of quiet, rest, and renewal.
All are welcome in the sanctuary, social hall, or online for the full hour.
Child care is available during worship for children 5
and under in Lower Hall Room 1.LINK TO ZOOM SERVICE
