This Sunday:  11:00 Worship:  The life of faith is a life of sunshine and rain, of hope and struggle, of joy and challenge, of light and darkness.  Come contemplate the breath of the faith experience.   Text Psalm 30, Pastor Susan Preaching.

SUNDAY SCHOOL is on Vacation until the fall.  Feel free to have children take books from the children’s library cabinet, or bring coloring materials.  We enjoy our children just as they are.

From Susan:  Dear Church family (and dear to me you are!)  Thank you so much for the wonderful party and send off.  It was a lovely afternoon and my heart has been so warmed by your graciousness. It has been a joy to worship with you, to pray with you and to grow in faith with you.  Please do stay in touch with me, via facebook or email (sqptownsley@gmail.com).

I remain yours in Christ,   Susan
