We welcome all of our visitors today and invite you to the fellowship hall for beverages and cookies after the worship service.  Please follow the congregation to the left out of the sanctuary.
TODAY
THE FLOWERS ON THE COMMUNION TABLE TODAY are provided by Leigh Aaron-Leary.  Dedicated to Fred Rogers: “when your heart can sing another’s gladness, then your heart is full of love; when your heart can cry another’s sadness, then your heart is full of love. Love is fragile as your tears, love is stronger than your fears.”
