Family Worship: What’s an Elephant? There are many ways to see the same reality. Please join us in the chapel for this family centric, 20 minute interactive service.
This month, Embodiment: In our Worship services we will be exploring the theme of embodiment, the shape of ourselves, the work we do with our hands, the relationships we form, the physical realities of our world and our participation in it.
Religious Education Morning: Who will make the Pizza? We’ve been cooking this year, in service to our caring network and our pastoral care programs. Why would we make a meal that we do not share? Some of us will be in the kitchen for our final day of Community Cooks, others will be creating a community garden (portable).
Childcare for babies and tots is available in the playroom with Juanita Simms.
