Now more than ever, we need each other. This morning, we’ll explore the practice of presence as a resource for building and sustaining community, and we’ll welcome our new members in a joining ceremony. Everyone is encouraged to greet and congratulate our new members while enjoying some extra treats during coffee hour!

The Share the Plate for Sunday November 24 and Sunday December 1st is Access Community Health Centers. Access Community Health Centers is a non-profit organization with the mission of improving the health and lives of people who otherwise face financial, cultural, or language obstacles that prevent access to high-quality, affordable health care. Their team-based approach to care – with the patient an active participant in the care they receive – is what sets Access apart. By making sure each patient receives personalized care in a consistent and caring manner, patients are better equipped to make decisions regarding their health care and take control of their future health and well-being.They were nominated by Leila Pine.
