World Communion Sunday
Join Us this Sunday as we continue to delve deeper into our generosity campaign. This week we celebrate World Communion Sunday. Rev. Matt Weiler will give a sermon titled Deep Gladness: The World’s Deep Hunger. We will also be reading from the book of Job. Our Generosity Campaign is both a spiritual and practical endeavor. It helps us reflect on our calling, implement our heart's yearning, and serve our community. This church is a beloved space where we gather to be filled with God's presence, renew relationships, and advocate for justice and inclusion. These holy endeavors require your financial generosity. Throughout October, we'll discuss the necessity of supporting this church as a vehicle for our calling. May God guide us in wisdom as we strive to meet the world’s deep hunger with our gladness. https://youtube.com/live/L_VuAOahZz8?feature=share
