Upcoming Service
Sunday, June 18th, 2017
"Allies Among Us"
As we celebrate Pride month, it's important to remember that Allies play a big role in the care and support of the LGBTQ community. Being an ally is more than just wearing your rainbow flag pin; it's about being willing to stand up in the face of oppression and step back allowing those in the community to lead.
This Sunday we will hear from Allies about their journey towards understanding and support.
This service is presented by the Worship Committee and members of our Congregation.

This Sunday in Children and
Youth Religious Education

Care List
This Sunday, June 11th, 2017, at our Circle of Candles:
Sarah Kinley: Her mother,Theresa, lost her life to cancer when Sarah was 20. Sunday, she would have been 70. Sarah's thinking of her.
Barbara and Gary Hitt, a candle of joy: It was a big day for them--Barbara's birthday, their daughter's birthday, and her son's birthday. Three generations all born on June 11th! We all were invited to have a piece of Babara's birthday cake in the fellowship hall after the service. It was huge and she didn't want to eat it herself, jokingly fearing she may not live to her next birthday if she did!
