Many stories tell us how, when the winds of change blow, it’s better to be like the supple willow than the unmoving oak. This morning, we’ll explore the relationship between flexibility and change, and how we might move with the times.
All are welcome in worship, whether you’ve registered or not. Your registration ahead of time allows for less congestion at the door on Sunday morning, and it helps us plan for spacing in the sanctuary.
