10 June 2018 Worship Service and Summer Fun for Children and Youth

Please join us on Sunday (10 June 2018) at 11:00 AM for A Celebration of Pride featuring guest speaker Brad Campbell.

We are delighted to welcome Brad Campbell to our pulpit for the first time.

Brad is a retired middle school English teacher now in his second career as Training Coordinator for Volunteers of America.

He has been involved with LGBTQ advocacy as a member of PACE (People Acting for Change and Equality) and as one of the organizers of the North Louisiana Gay and Lesbian Film Festival.

A Reminder that “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, we have chosen The Philadelphia Center for sponsorship of their annual silent auction in August.

Summer fun activities for children and youth are offered during the 11:00 AM service.  This week’s summer fun is “Tie-Dye Sunday.”

Children and youth attend the first 15-20 minutes of the service and then leave for their summer fun event.

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.
