Welcome! We hope this feels like a space you can take a deep breath in. You are loved, just as you are. Full stop. We breathe in. And out. God’s love is here. May we practice love so we can embody Jesus’ love in our daily lives, relationships & justice work.
A Quiet Room is available for anyone with sensory needs or young children. Ask an usher at the back of the sanctuary and they’ll point you toward the Quiet Room.(*) You are invited to rise in body or spirit

Prelude Sharon Cooper
*Call to Worship Vickie Plasker
Children of God, it is good to gather together for worship!
We are blessed to gather and grow together as the body of Christ!
We are blessed, and we are broken. Both can be true at once.
May we move towards wholeness as we worship the Holy One.

You’re invited to say hello after worship and enjoy coffee and snacks. Take a left and then a right as you leave the sanctuary to enter Herrmann Hall. Please keep your name tag on so we can learn and remember each other’s names!
Community Notes
Children + Youth: During the summer months, children and youth are invited to stay in worship and participate in ways that feel good. There’s coloring and fidgets in the back of the room. You’re welcome to watch the service from a TV in Herrmann Hall if a child or teen needs more space to move around!
Connect: When and if you feel ready to explore more, we’d love to hear more of your story and help you find a place to make friends and grow in faith.
