We welcome our Covenant Relations Team - Burt, Sylvia, and Steve - to share the invitation to build deeper, more intentional relationships with our mission partners: Rev. Joseph & Marilyn Chan serving in Cambodia, and Youth & Child Visionary Ministries (YCVM) in Uganda. This will be a special offering Sunday for the work of Covenant Relations! Please give generously! Worship begins promptly at 9:30 a.m. in the Annex followed by Pastor Emily & Steven's Baby Shower. All are welcome!

*We're Beginning An Exciting New Series: "Communities of Compassion in the Book of Acts & Today" with the Rev. Sandhy Jha. The series will engage our own joys and struggles of building community with what was happening in the early church. Together, we’ll explore what we might learn from those early founders of the Church for our communities today. This is a 4 week series that begins May 11th - June 1st at 9:30 a.m. Don't miss it!
