This Sunday, May 26, at 10:30 am, "River of Grace," Rev. Frank Clarkson preaching
This month we’ve been reflecting on grace, and the ways we can sense the presence of grace and help share it with a world hungry for that life-affirming balm. On this Sunday of Memorial Day weekend, we’ll open ourselves to the presence of the grace that abides: in us and around us, like a river flowing through our lives and the universe. We hope you’ll put yourself in a state of grace by joining us for worship this Sunday!
