September
7th: Gathering Into the Sacred Circle
September 7th is called Recovenanting Sunday. In the
early days of Israel, the people came together once a year to renew
their covenant with God. As we gather again after the summer and meet
new people who have joined us, we renew our Christian commitment to
learning and to serving God together in the community of the church.
We are all invited to Gather Into the Sacred Circle at worship
this day as we summarize in drama form the Hebrew Scripture texts we
have read this summer and celebrate communion together as we recall
the first Passover.
Nan and Bruce will be
enjoying 2 weeks of vacation in late September. Worship leader on
September 21st will be Sue Betuik and September 28th
will be the Rev. Adelina Pecchia.
Copies of the “UPPER ROOM” for Sept.-Oct. are available
