Worship, Sunday School and Youth -10:00 AM

 

 We sing of God the Spirit,

faithful and untameable,
who is creatively and redemptively active in the world.
 
The Spirit challenges us to celebrate the holy
not only in what is familiar,
but also in that which seems foreign.
 
We sing of the Spirit,
who speaks our prayers of deepest longing
and enfolds our concerns and confessions,
transforming us and the world.
