This Week in Worship

Sunday, June 12 @ 10:30 am in Meetinghouse

Well there are two reasons to explain how I felt after last Sunday’s service. The first is that I had heat stroke from all the wool I was wearing, which technically could have happened, but not likely. The second reason for the way I was feeling was emotionally overwhelmed. I was overwhelmed with feelings of love, gratitude, joy, sadness, and maybe even a little embarrassed for being the center of attention. Thank you all so much for the wonderful send off it was truly the best going away party I’ve ever had. I can’t wait to hear how you welcome Rev. Lisa.

This week we get to celebrate our young people during our yearly Children’s Sunday and then the following week we observe the fine Unitarian Universalist tradition of the Flower Communion.

See you in church!
