This Sunday’s Service:
What Are We Waiting For?
Waiting means there’s something we expect or hope for or fear in the future. In this service we are invited to consider what we are waiting for individually and as a community. There may be creative thought, discussion, action or changing what we are waiting for, to set us on a good and proper course.
Leading the service will be Rev. Benson and Worship Associate Ilze Duarte.  Music will be provided by
Jo Ann Schriner, Shauna Pickett-Gordon, Peak Performers.
