Announcements

Next Week: new members welcomed! As a family of faith committed to boldly and creatively embodying the life and ministry of Jesus, we would like to join with YOU. We’d like to be a context and inspiration for your own spiritual path, and work with you to make your heart, your world, your life more peace-filled and joy-full. Next Sunday, and every second Sunday of the month, there will be an opportunity to covenant together. No prior action on your part is required, but if you have any questions at all, we’d like to help. Working together, we want to make God’s love visible and real to all.
Next Sunday is Pentecost, the celebration of the Holy Spirit coming on the disciples, and the birth of the church. Everyone is invited to wear red, or yellow, or both, and after service we will take an all-church picture. Don’t miss out and help get the word to everyone!  (Stream Clean-up and Picnic will be rescheduled for later this month. Stay tuned for more information. M&S Board)
