Worship online tomorrow at 10 a.m. as we continue to explore the Eastertide theme, Living the Way of Love. Then join Zoom Coffee Hour at 11 a.m. for some community and conversation with friends!⠀
Who in our community needs food? Who needs housing? Who needs to reach out and grab a hands up?
Living the Way of Love is our theme in the weeks following Easter. It comes from Episcopal Bishop Michael Curry’s book, Love Is the Way. In it, Bishop Curry invites us to create a “rule of life” for ourselves, which comes out of the ancient Benedictine tradition. It is a gentle framework to help us grow spiritually. We invite you to join us on this journey and identify some new spiritual practices to guide you on the way of love. Remember - it is not about becoming perfect—it’s about growing deeper into the loving Child of God that God has created you to be.
Check out the great things our kids are learning from Sunday School on Zoom with Ms. Jamie and the Sunday School teachers!
