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!
TODAY!! Tune in for a lunchtime performance of beautiful music! Today's Mid-Week Recital features Kevan Torfeh, cello; our very own Jim Smith, organ and piano; Tomasz Golka & Anna Kostyuchek, violins; and Linda Muggeridge, oboe. Tune in at 12:10 p.m., on Facebook Live (link in bio). Don't miss the show!
