We've experimented with lots of different worship tools and fellowship approaches since our physical closure in March 2020... Zoom small groups, FM radio transmission in the parking lot, Facebook live...

This past Sunday, for the first time since we began hybrid worship in the Sanctuary on Easter morning, Zoom congregants and in-person congregants were able to see one another and interact in real time. And it was a blessing!

Thanks to everyone who participants and special shout outs to tech volunteers (Bryan Baca and Joe Hesley, Dave Hillyard and Ken Eicher - we're lookin' at you, friends!) who make everything happen.

We've been doing this connection time on Wednesdays for a while now. Maybe you are needing to gather with friendly faces tonight. Zoom is the space for bringing our celebrations and our sorrows. This time together keeps us joined at heart! Click here TONIGHT at 7:00 to participate.

Thursdays in May are all about family. This month, look for Homegrown, an encouraging series of reflections on raising new humans, live on the Shadow Rock Facebook page. This week, it's Show-and-Tell Time; we'll look together at some spirituality props and sensory items. Catch this short video live or tune in later to watch the recording.

Adult Spiritual Formation will be meeting on Zoom and in the Multipurpose Room this Sunday at 10:00 am. It's a holiday weekend, so we're keeping things low key with some fun and educational progressive Christianity TikTok! Sunday morning formation is for everyone - no preparation or prior knowledge is necessary, but you might need your curiosity and a sense of humor!

It's a great day to be with your Shadow Rock family. Click the big button below to let us know that you're coming this week.

After the 11:00 am service, Zoom folks and in-person folks can both dive into Ken's sermon topic with a discussion question or two. Join us in the Multipurpose Room or just stay on Zoom for a deep diving Afterparty!
