KidZone Needs You!

KidZone needs a few volunteer assistant teachers for the coming school year. If you are interested in volunteering one hour for 1 - 3 Sunday mornings during the year, please contact Linda Griggs or Kathryn Barr. A short training about keeping kids safe will be needed prior to volunteering.

Weekly Prayer List

an Introspective prayer

Almighty and everlasting God, you have given to us
grace by the confession of a true faith to
acknowledge you our God as divine community:
Keep us steadfast in this faith that our community life
may mirror the love of your divine community.
O Lover; who with the Beloved and the Love-Sharer
live and reign, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
