3 June 2018 All-Ages Worship Service

Please join us on Sunday (3 June 2018) at 11:00 AM for “A Backpack for the Journey” where we will honor the transitions of our children and youth.

We also honor our graduating senior Sam First.

The Affirmation Sunday service is our end of the religious education year where we honor our children and youth — celebrating their transitions as well as the culmination of our pillar on personal spiritual growth and development.

This is a service of joy and hope and a bit of fun, too.

Sam First will give his Senior Sermon, and we will also take time to honor other graduates in our wider church community, as well as the milestones of all the children and youth.

Please join us to be part of a community that honors and celebrates Sam and all the young people who have so much to teach us.

Reminder:  Give Away the Plate has changed –rather than selecting one charity or non-profit at the end of the month, we now give half of all of our non-pledge income for the entire month to a selected non-profit.

For the month of June 2018, we have chosen The Philadelphia Center for sponsorship of their annual auction in August 2018.
