Dear friends,

As we usher in the summer season and open our  church doors once again, we hope you will join us for in-person worship and fellowship opportunities this month.

This coming week on Wednesday, June 9 beginning at 7pm, all families are invited to join us in the Bishop Garden for dessert and a time of fellowship. We will have low-key activities and helpers for the children, and a time for parents to reconnect and socialize. Please respond via this EVITE and let us know if you can join us.

This month we are trying a new way for families with younger children to worship together: short outdoor services on Sunday evening, June 13 and June 27, at 5pm. These half-hour services will be held in the Cloister Garden, and are created especially for preschool through sixth graders and their families. Please bring a picnic blanket to sit on. Pre-registration is required HERE for the service on June 13; please sign up by Friday, June 11. 

For those not able to join us in-person, please remember that we continue to stream our 10am Sunday worship service, and children's bulletins can be printed at home (see below). As the summer continues, we look forward to more opportunities to be together and to enjoy the outdoors!

Peace,

Bryn
