Seeds of Grace Worship: Embracing the New Normal
Sun., Sept. 18, 5:00 pm Gathering, 5:30 p.m. Worship in person Mon., Sept. 19, 7:30 pm via Zoom
In the midst of chaos, some wish to go back to the perceived stability of the past, others yearn for certainty. Still others try to grasp a sense of the “new normal.” In truth, chaos may be our new
normal. In September, Seeds of Grace continues our series that speaks to the chaos of our times. How do we, as Christians, remain resilient in this time of great change? Join us around the circle as we explore on how we have adapted to our new reality. Come to share silence and prayer, music and reflection, and be present to give each other hope, patience and courage for these times. Seeds of Grace worship is offered in person (outdoors) on Sunday, September 18 and again on Monday, September 19 via Zoom at https://zoom.us/j/94465801606? or by phone at 1-929-205-6099. Please invite others to join us!
