Join Rev. Ian and fellow congregants in this four session class. The class focuses on helping members who are interested in preaching a sermon or learning more about how sermons are created. It is designed to help people understand better what it is we do when we speak from the pulpit of our congregation, build some beginning skills in choosing topics and crafting sermons, and understand who we are speaking to and why.

Introduced by the Social Justice Committee in January 2023. Donate formula, which will be given to Galilee Center for distribution to their families with babies.

Every yarn is different. Cotton, wool, acrylic, silk all feel different as you knit or weave or crochet and each creates a different fabric with unique qualities. Our relationships, too, ask us to be attentive and intentional in unique ways with each individual and situation. Join us as we explore the fabric of relationship.
