Gatherings Under the Willows
While there are no services in July or on August 2nd, there will be informal gatherings outside “under the willows” at 10:30 am on Sunday mornings during this hiatus. This will be unstructured time to connect and check in with each other.
You are encouraged to bring camp chairs or a blanket and your own water bottle or beverage. Anyone who wishes to bring a song for a singalong is most welcome, as there will be no organized music — let’s be spontaneous!
(Contact Shirley Travis or Lynne Bonner if you have any questions.)
