The Sunday prior to Thanksgiving is traditionally when we have our multi-bread communion service. Because of Covid, we’ve had to do this service differently the past few years. As we continue our Covid safety protocols, we invite you to bring bread to share following worship at our Soup Sunday luncheon. If you are able, bring bread representing your family’s ethnicity and heritage or your favorite bread.
During worship, we’ll reflect on ways the holiday season can change us by inviting us, through acts of compassion and gratitude, to live our faith. We’ll put our faith in action by making Hospital Meal Packets as part of worship.
The choir will sing as all ages worship together!
Please bring bread to share at the luncheon following worship, fresh produce and holiday foods for those in our congregation experiencing tight budgets this holiday season and rakes, tarps, gloves and blowers for the all church leaf raking bonanza following lunch!
