Hello friends, I hope you had a wonderful Easter celebration! This Sunday we are beginning a new worship series for the Easter Season called Resurrection Stories. The Easter Season is a time of celebrating all the ways in which resurrection is possible in our lives. It is also Communion Sunday. If you are worshipping with us at home, have your communion elements available to join with us as we share the Bread of Life and the Cup of Love. A potluck lunch will be in the social hall after the service. Bring a dish to share if you can. Our final book study meeting is today at 4:00 in room 106.

God's love flows through you, and your loving kindness can help change the world, one small act at a time. Shalom to you friends, Pastor Michele And in the beginning was love. Love made a sphere: all things grew within it; the sphere then encompassed beginnings and endings, beginning and end. Love had a compass whose whirling dance traced out a sphere of love in the void: in the center thereof rose a fountain.-- Robert Lax If you would like to receive this weekly email directly, please drop a note to Pastor Michele.
