Many of the pleasures in life require just a little work to get to – but oh, they’re so worth it! This morning, we’ll explore some aspects of the experience of pleasure. And we’ll participate in a ritual of release for our Director of Family Ministry, Genevieve McPherson-Shambarger.
After the service, join us for a raspberry-themed community meal or postcards to Washington.
