"What Will Be Will Be"

 11 am, Rev. Lari Goold

Sanctuary & Livestream on Facebook

 

If we consider God’s will not as a rigid set of rules, but as a path to spiritual growth and fulfillment, we can relax and let go and let God. Let’s talk about what God’s will is for us. We humans tend to throw out the words, “It was God’s will,” whenever something happens that we cannot explain. Recently we experienced a tragedy in south Texas that took the lives of many people, including many children. Was that God’s will???

"Back to School: A Lifetime of Learning"

 11 am, Rev. Rebecca Rickey

Sanctuary & Livestream on Facebook

 

It’s that time of year. Students of all ages are headed back to school. Life adjusts to “school hours”, seasons change, and we move into the space of deep learning. It’s a rite of passage. Do you still, no matter your age, have the desire to learn new things? Are you a “perpetual” student, a purposeful lifetime learner? Even if you didn’t like school, are you seeking opportunities for growth in your spiritual life? Do you desire a more fulfilling everyday life experience? Get up, get ready, and get to “class”. There’s always something to learn. Join us on Sunday, August 31, SpiritGroup Sunday, as Rev. Rebecca looks at “going back to school”. There is an open desk waiting for you.

Child Care and a Youth Circle.

 

Thanks to a dedicated team of volunteers and support from a local school counselor, we’re able to offer a safe, nurturing space where children and teens can engage in age-appropriate activities, connect with peers, and feel part of a warm, accepting community.

 

We would love to see your children and are excited to welcome more young minds into our loving and inclusive circle.
