At last night's Congregation Council meeting, the COVID-19 safety protocol was updated. Our weekly worship on Sundays at 11:00 a.m. will continue to be livestreamed to our Facebook page and archived to our website and YouTube channel. If you or a member of your immediate family is feeling sick or symptomatic in any way, we ask that you please worship safely from home.

We are no longer restricting the capacity of our worship services, but ask that you respect the wishes of other worshipping individuals and families with respect to physical distance. Effective immediately, the use of face masks will be optional and temperatures will no longer be taken as you enter our worship spaces...

After more than a year of almost uninterrupted weekly prayer services, Wednesday Prayer at the End of the Day will go on a summer hiatus beginning in June. This will allow us to take a breath for a season and discern how best to renew our musical prayer services in the fall.

Thank you to all of you who have made Wednesday evenings together a regular part of your week. The sense of community that we built has been a strength of our ministry, both during the pandemic and beyond.

Tonight at 6:30 p.m. on Zoom, we conclude our read and discussion of "12 Tiny Things" with chapters on Learning and Community. BUT WAIT -- there's more!

Join us on Wednesday, May 26th at 6:30 p.m. on Zoom for a virtual visit with Ellie Roscher, one of the authors of "12 Tiny Things." Everyone is welcome to join us for her visit, even those who didn't attend the small group discussions. Come and hear from a contemporary Lutheran lay theologian about her life and work!

As we resume even more fully our in-person worship, you are invited to dedicate altar flowers. The cost of the arrangements is $50.

After worship on Pentecost, our Prayer List will be refreshed. If you want names to continue in our prayers during the summer months (June, July, August), please submit them using the link below.
