Gratitude Project & Art Installation
What are you grateful for? We want to know!

During the stewardship season, the congregation is invited to participate in a daily gratitude practice together. Each Sunday, packets of five slips will be distributed as you leave worship, one for each day of the week. Each strip contains space for you to capture your gratitude. Please return your completed strips to worship the following week, so we can use them for an art installation in the sanctuary.
