In challenging times, we can find ourselves doubting what the future holds. We can question the basic goodness of people. Yet our faith tradition offers us a response of hope to carry us though.
Join us as we welcome our Affiliated Community Minister as a guest in our pulpit. Reverend Gilmore also serves as Executive Director of the Shalom Community Center.
Large group Religious Education as well as childcare will be provided at both services.
This Week in Religious Exploration:
We will have all our children in Preschool-8th grade together in Room 208 to explore deep listening and imagination through music and movement with special guest Janiece Jaffe. Childcare is available in Room 108. Middle School OWL and High School Youth Group will resume on January 6th.
Religious Education has purchased some beautiful wooden finger labyrinths for busy hands to use for mindfulness during services. They will be located at the back of the meeting room near the family side. Please return them to their basket after use.
