Dear Church Community,

As we approach Thanksgiving Week, I’m excited to share that Nick and I are going to be balloon handlers in this year’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade! Nick loves the parade, and it’s a great treat for us to participate. If you’d like to watch for us, we’ll be wearing glamorous green coveralls and helping hold the Dino and Baby Dino balloons.

Our congregation has a tradition of making sure everyone has a place for Thanksgiving Dinner. If

Dear Church Community,

He has told you, O mortal, what is good, and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice and to love kindness and to walk humbly with your God? (Micah 6:8)

I’ll be on sabbatical through Sunday, September 25, and I’m deeply grateful for this opportunity to rest and rejuvenate. My sabbatical theme is What Next? and I encourage us all to consider this question while I’m away.

Rev. Aubra Love, our Sabbatical Pastor, will preach most Sundays, and the Worship Committee will cover the rest with some wonderful preaching from our congregation. Please give Rev. Love a warm welcome this Sunday; you can read her short bio here.

Easter Greetings,

Yes, it’s still Easter, the Season of Resurrection and New Life. And there’s been a great deal of Life happening at our church the past couple of months. As the children’s song goes: The more we get together, the happier we’ll be.

Our Children and Youth have enjoyed a wonderful springtime of events. From filling cleanup buckets for Church World Service to a festive Easter Egg Hunt to an amazing Art Fest, there’s been ample meaningful fun. To
