Join us for this service via an on-line Zoom Meeting
We’ve talked about opening to joy the last few weeks – now let’s make some! This morning, we’ll sing and play together even as the longest night of the year approaches. And we’ll share in the joy of welcoming a new member! You’ll be invited to speak during the service.
