Worship on Sunday: I See You Series
God creates, knows, loves, and sees all of us in our full humanity. But as people, we can fall into the habit of assuming everyone is the same or everyone is like us. While we share a common humanity, these assumptions can be harmful and prevent us from truly seeing other people and listening to their perspectives. By looking at Biblical stories, this series will help us learn how to listen to, respect, affirm, and act for and with others. In doing so, we can also come to know God even more fully.
Sunday, May 9 | Week 2 | The Sisters Speak Up!
Last week, we saw the importance of listening to the voices on the margins. However, it is not enough to just listen. We must also act.
- Traditional Worship | 8:30 a.m. | Sanctuary (reservation needed)
- Contemporary Worship | 11 a.m. | Outdoors (east parking lot)
- Livestream | 8:30 a.m. | Church website or Facebook
Please make a reservation to join us for indoor traditional worship. Safety measures include social distancing and the use of a face mask throughout the service. Details are listed in the What to Expect for Indoor Worship guide.
Outdoor Worship | 11 a.m.
Outdoor contemporary worship begins at 11 a.m. Bring your own chair and gather on the east parking lot. A reservation is not needed to attend.
