Stories Old and New


Join us for this service via an on-line Zoom Meeting

We are guided by the stories we are told and tell ourselves.  And sometimes we tell ourselves old stories that are no longer true, but we don’t know how to stop telling them.  This morning, we’ll explore making space for new stories when the old ones no longer serve us.  Our annual congregational meeting will happen after the service.
