Did you wonder last week what Emily Flier was speaking about in the Acts reading? This summer, Robert has asked one person each Sunday to offer a brief review of the gospel reading from the perspective of one person in the story. This will come after the reading and before the sermon. What do you think they’ll say this week?

Please remember “Summer Glories,” Pastries on the Portico following the 9 a.m. service.

This Sunday, Trinity Sunday, we welcome The Rev. Joe Green as our preacher and celebrant at the 9 a.m. service.

Come Join us for a transformation experience of worship and prayer.

Participants practice a form of Ashtanga Yoga that uses Christian scripture as the basis for meditation. After a warm up series of asanas (poses), an invigorating asana flow will prepare the class for the final portion of mediation and prayer. All physical levels are welcome. Please bring your own mat. Classes are the first and third Thursdays of the month from 9:15-10:30 am in the “Rug Room.” The class is free, but donations will be collected to advance education and outreach.
