Rev. Mel Shenstone will lead service

Homecoming Service - Water Communion

This will be a Multi-generational Service. Nursery Care in the Parish House.

In this service, we blend together water representing our lives since we last gathered. We invite you to notice the water that supports life wherever you are. Pay it a visit (in riverbed, ocean, or tap), take a deep breath, and offer thanks. And then fill a little bottle to bring to our gathering.

Please join us for coffee, tea, refreshments and fellowship in the dining room of the

Parish House after service.
