Join us for Christian Family Sunday, May 11th at 10:30am

May 11, 2025

Please join us either in person or on-line at 10:30am for Christian Family Sunday.

Rev. Dr. Teresa Burnett-Cole is on her sabbatical leave until September. 


This Christian Family Sunday service will be lead by the Rev. Sue Toller. Hilda Sabadash will welcome us, and Marilyn Hamilton will offer the land acknowledgement. Rev. Sue Toller will give the Theme Conversation for children and adults. John LeDrew will read the scripture: Psalm 23.

Our Minister of Music, James Caswell and the choir will lead us in music and song; the anthem will be "The 23rd Psalm (dedicated to my mother)" by Bobby McFerrin.


Today, we will reflect on Psalm 23 and how its comforting imagery of a shepherd's care speaks to God's constant presence in our lives, especially in times of fear and uncertainty. Through this passage, we'll explore how divine love reaches us through both spiritual and human connections, offering rest, guidance, and protection.


Here is the bulletin for the service to follow along with the words of texts, hymns, songs and prayers. You can join the service live at 10:25 am at this YouTube link; after the service ends it will be available to watch as a recording.

Today, we remember that history. We remember Survivors. We remember the children who never returned home. We remember families and communities who continue to live with the consequences.
