While Pastor Lowell is away on sabbatical, you are invited to consider a summer sabbath for yourself. Using books purchased with the Lilly Endowment Clergy Renewal Grant, Pastor Mary Laymon will lead a series of studies on Wayne Muller's "Sabbath: Finding Rest, Renewal, and Delight in Our Busy Lives."
“I’m so busy.” Wayne Muller says our relentless emphasis on success and productivity has become a form of violence. We have lost the necessary rhythm of life, the balance between effort and rest, doing and not doing. Constantly striving, we feel exhausted and deprived in the midst of great abundance, longing for time with friends and family, longing for a moment to ourselves.
Pastor Mary Laymon and other congregation members will be leading discussions around the Sabbath book at various times. Find details and sign up for a group at www.tinyurl.com/SummerBookStudy26

Sabbath: Sundays June 7, 14, 21
Kick off your summer with some sabbath. In addition to the book “Sabbath” by Wayne Muller, Pastor Mary Laymon will invite us into a 3-week sermon series exploring Sabbath not as an outdated legalistic burden, but as God’s life-giving gift to restore humanity.
Fruit of the Spirit: Sundays June 28-August 23
The Fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) is framed as the active, daily manifestation of the Holy Spirit's presence. Rather than rigid personal achievements, they are viewed as gifts of grace that cultivate thriving, inclusive, and loving communities. A life in the Spirit produces a variety of delicious fruit. Sink your teeth and heart into the nourishing and refreshing goodness of God, this summer.
Begins May 24
Sunday mornings through September 6
8 am - indoors
10 am - outdoors, weather permitting

Summer is almost here and so is our summer worship schedule! With our learning hour on summer vacation, we will be moving our second service to 10 am to allow our tech team time to set up outdoors.

All Addictions Big Book Step Study Group
7 pm Mondays, in the Library
All are welcome to the All Addictions Big Book Step Study Group. We are a group of men and women dedicated to studying and practicing the 12 steps of recovery as laid out in the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous. Big Book Step Study meetings work by providing clear-cut directions on how to recover from any addiction. The terms all addiction and practicing and studying the steps as they are laid out in the Big Book is what differentiates this from the Sunday night Alanon meeting. Join us.
Volunteer in the garden!
Help us provide fresh produce to local food pantries! The garden team is looking for additional hands to help with harvesting and maintaining the garden. Our harvest season starts late June and runs thru the end of September. Prior to this, we schedule activities as weather permits for garden prep, planting and garden maintenance. But once we start harvesting, we try to pick early morning on Tuesday so we can deliver fresh to the Tuesday pantry.
We do not pick in poor weather, mud, or extreme heat, so we will often move our times to work around Mother Nature, sometimes picking on Monday or on a Friday/Saturday to deliver to the Saturday Pantry. Garden knowledge is not necessary, training is provided, and learn by doing. Enjoy being outside in fellowship with others to work in the garden as physical abilities allow. Communications are through regular emails and texts to keep everyone current with weather impacts. With only 5 active members, we need more hands to help out, especially during seasons of vacations or illness. Please reach out to be added to the communications. Attend as you are able.
Dennis Reynolds,
