October 7, 2021

Sunday, October 10th  -  Creation invites: Depend upon me!

A warm welcome to all joining us for this service celebrating creation time! This week we celebrate Thanksgiving, with reflections of gratitude by members of our faith community. The photo above was taken in 2019 Thanksgiving's Sunday, with the bounty beautifully assembled and arranged by Laura Richardson. 

Our Minister, the Rev. Teresa Burnett-Cole will lead us in worship and prayer. The scripture is from John 1:1-18, read by Hilda Sabadash. James Caswell, Minister of Music, will be joined by choir members, Liz Elton and Crystal Maitland to lead us in music and song.
