Sermon Description:
Come join us this Sunday, July 2nd, to reflect on our annual celebration of the Fourth of July and Independence Day. How can we reframe this tradition full of patriotic spirit of the past to more fully acknowledge the realities of the present and vision of our future? How critical is it now to consider how we are, in truth,  INTER dependent? Phyllis Havens will be our Worship leader, with the music of John Arimond, in exploring these reflections and diverse perspectives on interdependence and beloved community.
