“Everything Happens for a Reason” (really?)
Sunday, June 2, 2024
11am, Rev. Anne Tabor
Sanctuary & Livestream
Join us for part three of our Sunday Message Series, Going Beyond Spiritual Platitudes, as Rev. Anne takes a deep dive into the ever-so-popular phrase, “Everything happens for a reason.”
Now, we’ve all heard it. We’ve probably even said it! While this saying is true in the simplest sense—for example, you tripped over your own two feet while trying to text and walk at the same time—it’s not very comforting when someone chirps it at you when you’re in the middle of a mess. In those moments, you might want to respond with something less than holy!
Instead of relying on platitudes, let’s discover how we can focus on the real, transformative power of strength and grace. Join Rev. Anne to find out how!

“Let Go and Let God” (really?)
Sunday, June 9, 2024
11am, Rev. Anne Tabor
Sanctuary & Livestream
We all know that cause and effect exist in our lives. Which is why when we hear the phrase, “Let go and let God” it sounds so sweet—like your Granny’s hug after a rough day! But let’s be honest, even though there’s a kernel of truth in it, when it’s overused, it’s like trying to sprinkle glitter on a mud puddle.
Join Rev. Anne for the conclusion of our Sunday Message Series, Going Beyond Spiritual Platitudes, and discover how to use this beloved saying so it feels sincere and supportive, rather than a superficial bypass. Really.

Prayer Chaplain Information Mtg
NaOra Horton and Theresa Riggs
Sunday, June 2, 2024, at 1pm
We are all blessed to be called to many areas of sacred service within our church community. Being a prayer chaplain is a calling, a commitment to pray for and with others.
So, what is being a prayer chaplain all about? What does it entail?
Our prayer chaplains are offering an introductory meeting on Sunday,
June 2, at 1pm, right after church service. We’ll be serving light refreshments and providing insights into the sacred calling of prayer chaplaincy. If you feel that God might be whispering this calling into your heart, please pick up a brochure for more details and sign up for this introductory meeting.

SO MUCH GRATITUDE!!!
Thank you to all who helped with the blessing bags for the faculty and staff at Key Elementary. Twelve LUVs gathered at our Garden Lane Center (GLC) to assemble the bags, and several others donated the bags, money, water and chocolates! We enjoyed a tea party and the joy of “doing good” together. The bags were received with big smiles at the school.

How to Show Your Loved Ones You Appreciate Them
by Sara Crawford
One of the best ways to express God is to be an expression of love in the world. When most people think of spreading love on the planet, they think of acts of service. While acts of service are an important way to show love, it’s also important to show gratitude and appreciation to loved ones who are already in our lives—whether they are significant others, children, siblings, parents, friends, or relatives.

You are a unique expression of God. Spiritual counseling will remind you of that!
