Worship Service:

Wheel of Life

Lay Ministry

Sunday, October 27, 2024 at 10:15am

This Sunday, your lay ministers will offer our annual Wheel of Life service. This service is where we recognize our collective transitions of the past year – growing our families through births and adoptions; moving on in our lives through graduations, new jobs, retirements, and geographic relocations; coming into our own truer selves through transgendering; deepening our relationships by joining in marriage; acknowledging the changes in ourselves and relationships through separation and divorce; and remembering those loved ones we have lost through death.

You may also join us on Zoom: https://bit.ly/fuusn-worship-2024-2025
