A Gathering of Waters
given by Margaret
Macleod and members of the congregation
In our traditional “ingathering” after Labor Day, we bring
vials of water from our summer adventures and pour them into a common

another. Join us for this joyous renewal of our church community.

Choosing Church
given by our
minister, Pam Gross
What motivates people to choose church? How, especially in a

in silence and others in loving connections, how do we worship together?
