Living Generously   

It’s pledge season again! Letters went out March 16 and should be in your hands by now. We invite you to pledge to the church. Your financial contributions are crucial to all aspects of church life and ministry. 

New this year: we are moving to evergreen pledging. This means that unless you opt out, this will be the last pledge form you will see for some time. Please carefully review what you have been pledging, consider the information provided in the letter and your circumstances, and return the form by March 27 or sooner. From there, we will use this number each year unless you tell us otherwise. You may revise your pledge at any time. We do encourage automatic deduction pledging as well, and there are instructions on the website for that.

Didn’t get one? Check our website (in the online giving section) for one that you can download.

If you have questions, please contact Camellia El-Antably

Rising into the Sunlight
 Easter, a holy day for Christians, and a question for us all as Spring returns: How best to celebrate the return of green, growing life as it surrounds us once more? On Easter Sunday, join us in an all ages celebration of rebirth and joyous celebration of Springtime! We will honor the Christian story of Jesus and the way that narratives of death and rebirth help us to find our way out of stuck places in our own lives, breaking us free like seedlings unfurling from the earth.
