Nov. 19, Staying at the Table Starts with Grace

This Sunday’s ‘Staying at the Table: Starts with Grace’ celebrates the joy of embracing new members, showcasing the grace that defines our community spirit across our whole lives long. As Thanksgiving approaches, bringing its complex weave of anticipation and anxiety around encounters with all kinds, we invite you to a service that rekindles the essence of connection through the simple, yet profound act of sharing grace.  Opening Hymn- Gathered Here - Dr. Glen Thomas Rideout (:31) Call to Worship and Welcome- Sherry Merriam (5:04) Time for All Ages- Dr. Glen Thomas Rideout (13:10) Welcoming New Members Ritual- Jeff Snyder, Rev.
