This Sunday, May 19, at 10:30 am, "A Humanist's Hunt for Grace," Sandra DeVellis preaching
This Sunday’s preacher, Sandra DeVellis, has been active here for over a decade. Sandra says. “Some themes show up in our lives over and over again. It isn’t difficult to see the ways grace has shown up in mine. I’ll invite you to think about spiritual, physical and psychological grace. Maybe this non-traditional exploration, trying to discover what grace means to me, will help you identify and honor its presence in your lives. I’ll look forward to our time together.” We hope you’ll join us here this Sunday!
