         This Week's Service:        
"I Bid You Remember"

A service for all ages about memory and hope, the last of this regular church year.  We will ritually close out this interim time, with the return of your pulpit, in safekeeping, for your next minister. -Rev. Martha L. Munson, Rev. Lori Staubitz, and friends.

This Week's Drop-In Discussion: Open forum discussion or to be announced.

Look for our usual summer changes: Rev. Peter House will be our summer minister once again; services start at 10 and are a little shorter; coffee hour is replaced by simple cool refreshments. Check it out-it will be well worth it.

And have you wondered what it would be like to be a greeter or an usher? You can learn how and try it out this summer, with no major commitment. See Sarah Singal, Patti Goodwin, or Marie Sidoti, or email [email protected].
