One of the gifts of pluralism is our ability to celebrate and share what we find on our individual journeys. On Rev. Karen’s first Sunday back after her sabbatical leave, we’ll explore what she, and we, have learned- and celebrate our reunion!
Instead of our usual “first Sunday adult RE session” after the service, we’ll have an informal gathering where we’ll share stories and start reconnecting after Rev. Karen’s leave.
