Sunday Worship: “What Life in the Church Has Taught Me — Or Not”

Sancturary and Livestream on our Website 72425 Via Vail, Rancho Mirage, CA

Guest Speaker Rev. Frank Dunn
Service Leader: 
Steven Toporoff
This week, we welcome the Rev. Frank Dunn. He and his husband, Joseph Casazza, are neighbors, living in Cathedral City. Rev. Dunn will focus on a few of the many lessons he has learned over his half-century career as an Episcopal priest, and from his involvement in all aspects of congregational life. Says Rev. Dunn: “I couldn’t possibly unpack more than a slice or two of what I’ve learned, but there’s a handful of things I’ve learned that might be useful to others in assessing what they have gleaned from the practice of Christianity. No one enters our lives without having something to teach us.
