Open Hearts – Mother’s Day – Christian Family Sunday May 8th, 2022

This Sunday Morning we have two different opportunities to gather:

9:30 – All Ages Story Time (church lawn)
10:30 – Worship (in-person, Zoom, and YouTube)

This Sunday our Junior Choir will be singing the anthem “Listen to the Music” and our Chancel choir will sing “In Time of Silver Rain.” Our hymns include “In the Bulb There is a Flower.”

Our scripture and reflection turn to one of the women in scripture: Lydia, who appears in the Acts of the Apostles and is considered the first Christian convert in Europe. Lydia responds with hospitality – open hearts lead to open doors.

The story offers us a touchstone for our Mother’s Day and Christian Family Sunday worship.

Remember that you are invited for Story Time on the church lawn at 9:30am – picture books often have values, themes, art, and spiritual practices that can speak to old and young alike.

Looking Ahead

Sunday, May 15 is our next In the Wild gathering at 9:15am, followed by our weekly worship service at 10:30am: “The Beginning and the End.” We will hear some verses from Revelation, as well as some of Jesus’ words about love.
