Each element of this service is some kind of artistic performance by our members and friends. In the past, this has included songs, instrumental music, performance art, magic, poetry, mime, dance and tai chi.
The service itself runs from 60 to 90 minutes. This will be an all-ages worship service.
The Artist Sunday celebration also features a visual arts display and sale in our religious education wing — beginning from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM and then after the worship service ends until 1:30 PM.
