Join us on Sunday for our summer worship series in Ripley Chapel at 10am. This week we have the pleasure of hearing Julianne Zimmerman preach on Matthew 25:31-35 – “what you do to others, you do unto me.” Within her reflection, she will share some of what she gained from her participation in the Service Learning Trip to Pine Ridge Reservation. Also, Carol Weir will provide special music and we’ll begin early (9:55 am or so), like we’ve done for the last two Sundays, with a hymn sing. We’re not livestreaming our summer service but we’ll record the service for later viewing.

Join us on Sunday for summer worship in Ripley chapel at 10am. Sarah Gallop will be preaching on the story from Genesis 28 of Jacob’s Ladder and considering, through famous art depictions of the story, what our own ladders to God look like. We’ll begin again with a hymn-sing like last week so come with some hymns in mind you’d like to sing. This week we do hope to live stream the service and record it so we hope you’ll join us on-site or on-line. See you Sunday!

Summer Worship Begins June 26

Our beautiful Ripley Chapel has already been set up and is awaiting your presence for our summer worship services starting Sunday, June 26th at 10am. We have a wonderful slate of preachers from around the congregation and musicians who will offer the word of God in spoken word and song. We won’t have nursery care over the summer but encourage you to come and feel free to bring babies and children alike. Summer services tend to be a little shorter and more casual than usual. We will also be live streaming from Ripley throughout the summer! After worship each Sunday we’ll have something to whet your whistle either out in the Reno Garden or the Ripley hallway depending on the weather. We look forward to seeing you there!
