"The Gift of Care"

Church is about caring for one another, showing up for one another, and deepening our relationships by letting one another help us through.

This Sunday Rev. Mel will lead worship with homilies from

First Church members Carol Dixon and Debbie Harrison.

Please stay after coffee hour to discuss the next phase of mutual care amongst the congregation. For 30 years, Vicky Berg has coordinated the Parish Community Network to provide rides, meals, and caring messages; and to alert the minister of urgent pastoral needs. As Vicky passes on the torch of this role, how would we like to organize to take care of one another? Join us to celebrate Vicky, and brainstorm next steps!

The service is in the Dining Room. Children will begin in worship

and then go with Lisa and their teachers to get ready for

Religious Exploration Sunday next week.

After service please stay for refreshments and fellowship.
