In Our Own Words
“I experience joy when I see children in the service. I love seeing them whether they are lighting the chalice, saying words from the pulpit, or the youth describing their Coming of Age experience or their trip to Nicaragua.”
“I’m proud of our presence at vigils and protests. To be a part of a community that cares is empowering. It’s wonderful to do this together.”
“I would miss Sunday services and vespers which give me a time for being and not doing. There is no other place or time where I would have that opportunity.”
