Giving Thanks for Worship Leaders and Greeters: The Worship Board is so appreciative of all who volunteer to give voice to scripture and hands to “welcome” by being readers and greeters. If you would like to help, please sign up at coffee hour for the Sunday of your choice. All voices, ages, and experience level (or lack thereof!) are welcome. We’ll help you help the whole congregation!
Name Tags are Hospitality in Action. Name tags help us all from newcomers to old-timers. Stick on tags are always available in the vestibules and near the entrances and anyone can request a permanent one. We’ll make it and put it in the racks for next week! See a greeter or mark your pew folder sheet to get one made for you!
New Sunday Morning Book Study Sundays at 9am, conference Room: “Jesus and the Disinherited” by Howard Thurman, led by Steve Gowler. Part bible study, part liberating theology, and part loving manifesto, “Jesus and the Disinher-ited” is concise and powerful guide to faith. Written in the 1940s, its current relevance is a striking testament of Thurman’s spiritual insight. Plan to Join Dr. Steve Gowler on a journey with Thurman through Lent. Class began Feb. 18, but it’s not too late to join!!!
