Sunday School for All—Join us this Sunday for Sunday School following worship and fellowship. We’re going to try squeezing everyone onto the library for better sound quality. Sunday's Forum will pivot to the Basic Anglicanism cycle. So, Sunday's lesson will be the intro to that: "The Anglican Story: Our Episcopal Foundation."
Prayer Shawl Ministry—For years, our Prayer Shawl Ministry has been a source of comfort, passed from hand to hand, heart to heart. Guided by the Spirit, we create shawls and other items that bring comfort and solace. Consider joining us to learn the art of making these tangible prayers and help us continue to reach out in love.  You are invited and most welcome to join our knitting and crocheting group at coffee hour this afternoon, as we create handmade items (like prayer shawls, pocket crosses, and scarves.  No experience needed – just a willing heart!  Beginners ~ We are ready and willing to teach you!  For more information, please see Kathy Hall, Shannon Hill or Deacon Liz+.
