Dear Fourth Church,

We have the opportunity to gather for a special evening of hymn singing August 29, 6:00 p.m., in lieu of our normal worship service. The date is still two months away, but we wanted to give plenty of time to make plans and spread the word. See below for a description of the evening and the skillful guest musicians who will lead us.

Also, thank you for the great turnout for the first Sanctuary Renewal Town Hall Meeting on Sunday. Two more in-person Town Halls are coming Sundays, July 11 and August 22. For those who cannot make any of the in-person events, we will hold a virtual Town Hall on August 8. Visit the Sanctuary Renewal page for meeting times and further context.

Grace to you,

Don Nalle
