Upcoming Service
Sunday, May 6, 2018
A People of Creativity:
A Farewell Sermon
The Reverend Alice Syltie
So often, we think of creativity as belonging to the realm of artists and poets. The truth is, life itself is a creative process. Relationships and interdependence remind us that we are co-creators with all that exists. As I prepare to close this chapter in my life, and in our shared ministry, we will look at what together we have created, while also considering a question about the future. Do you know what are you building, constructing, composing, planting, or recreating with your life?
* On the first Sunday of each month, we Share the Plate during the offering, Share our Lunch with each other during Potluck, and Share our Bounty by filling the Food Basket! Please don't forget to bring non-perishable food and hygiene items for the food basket to be donated to the Huntsville Assistance Program.
All donations are welcome and appreciated.

Please make every effort to attend; we need a quorum.

Share the Plate*
 This Sunday, we will share the Plate with
The Angel Squad, a 501(c)(3), Helping Hands Projects volunteer organization.
The Angel Squad coordinates a network of people with different skills and big hearts who are ready to help anyone in any situation. Included in the Helping Hands Projects are homeless outreach and charity item distribution. This group collects donated items, sorts them, and delivers them to the homeless, other individuals, or local organizations or sells the items for the Angel's fund. Collected funds go directly to their clients' needs including items like diapers, food, and clothes.
They are helping hands with big hearts who are committed to showing charitable acts of love and kindness to the community through fellowship. They partner with other organizations on projects such as paying for medications, utilities, cleaning a house, fixing a car, you name it! They help when others won't. There are no restrictions.

Care List
This Sunday, April 29, 2018,
at our Circle of Candles:
Susan Coddington: lit a candle of joy; Tim's back surgery went well and he is moving around, slowly but surely. I'm thankful that my step-daughter, Lynn Gilbert, came in yesterday to relieve me so that I could get a good night's sleep.
Carolyn Reyes: lit a candle of joy; We celebrated Michael's birthday Monday. We enjoyed a long overdue sequel.
Kathy Fisher: lit a candle of joy; I'm so glad my friend, Peggy Mansfield, got to go home from the hospital after her second hip replacement surgery cracked her femur and necessitated another surgery to repair everything.
