As part of LGBT Pride Month, and in conjunction with the UCC and church’s all over the world, we will be ringing the church bell 49 times at noon on Monday June 12^th.  It was one year ago that 49 innocent victims lost their lives at the Orlando Pulse shootings.  Join us on the church steps at noon as an act of love and kindness. We join in fellowship with all churches who want to build a just world for all.

Martin Luther counseled against preaching on Trinity Sunday. Alas, Gary is going to risk it, wrestling with the Trinity and shining a dark on apophatic theology… Jane Haldane will serve as Liturgist, and Gerald will lead our musical praise.

This Sunday we celebrate Pentecost. The color of the day is red. We’ll come to the Lord’s Table, collect for the UCC’s Strengthen the Church offering, and accept gifts of pet food for Oscar’s Outreach, currently needed by the Tree of Life Food Pantry.

This Sunday we celebrate the Ascension. Gary will be preaching a sermon that includes biblical demigods. After church, Steve Merchant will lead the traditional walk to the cemetery.
