Dear Friends,
What a wonderful celebration we had last week! Thank you so much to everyone who made the 100th celebration of our building possible. It was great to remember all of the lives this space has touched and to imagine and pray for the lives it will touch in the future.
This coming Sunday we will continue with our celebratory theme as we mark Homecoming. Whether you have been away over the summer or not, fall brings a sense of return to schedules and involvements as well as a time to set new rhythms and intentions for the months ahead.
In worship, we will explore this theme of home on a spiritual and practical level, thinking in particular about immigration justice issues and who is perceived as being “at home” in our neighborhoods and nation. We will also celebrate communion and enjoy some special treats at coffee hour.
If it has been a while since you have been in church (online or in-person), please take this as your invitation! Or, if there is a friend whom you miss — or a friend who has never been here but you think might resonate — please invite them!
I’d also like to share that Pastor Jim is recovering well at home after his surgery and appreciates your prayers. Let’s continue to offer our prayers for continued healing.
See you Sunday!
Blessings,
Rev. Sheryl
