Summer Study
Sunday Mornings: Living the Questions
In her sermons this summer, Pastor Deb will be posing—and reflecting on—a question from the series Living the Questions. We will then gather in the South Parlor after the service to watch a short film clip addressing the question raised in the sermon and engaging in conversation about it. Begins June 26.

Pastor’s Report
Ah, Spring! May is great month to celebrate all creation, flora and fauna and the human family. Every day, I notice another sign of life, budding trees, blossoming bulbs, and baby bunnies. Caring for God’s creatures and all of creation is a topic often discussed on Earth Day (April 22) However, I believe every day can be designated Earth Day, especially during spring time.

Social Issue Study: Prison Nation
We are embarking on a six-part study of the prison system in the US, exploring the causes and consequences of the very high incarceration rate and how as Christians we should respond to this. According to the World Prison Population List, 11th edition, the US has the second highest incarceration rate in the world (699 adult prisoners per 100,000 adult population) behind only the Seychelles, well ahead of Russia and China, and over eight times the median level for countries in Western Europe. Come join us as we learn why this is the case and what it means for us as a society and as a church.
