Taking Time for a Little R&R&R

Rest, Relaxation & Renewal

(In Person & Zoom)

It's June in Santa Cruz, and summer has snuck up on us again, which means it is a perfect time for a little rest, relaxation, and renewal. But how do we kick our feet up, relax, and recover in a world that seems to spin faster by the day? Renewal is a spiritual discipline that requires practice, patience, and persistence in order to achieve its full effect, and this Sunday, we will learn how to reinvigorate our spirit.

Worship Leader and Speaker: Rev. Ryan Althaus

Worship Associate: Andy Kreyche
