New Worship Series 


 
This Sunday, we began our new worship series incorporating some of the music of Billy Joel. We celebrated Pentecost and the arrival of the Spirit and observed "She's Got a Way About Her." If you missed the service you can watch it here. Next Sunday we'll explore the spiritual journey and hear "The River of Dreams."
 
Stewardship Seminar

Are you interested in learning how to sustain and grow the financial resources needed to continue to fund our practicing community of faith,mercy, and justice? On August 6th and 7th, we will welcome Rev. Patrick Rogers, former CPA and current pastor of Fort Lauderdale United Church of Christ for a seminar on church stewardship.

You are invited to join the Women's Fellowship on Thursday June 2nd as they make up 1 pound bags of rice and beans at their meeting at 12:00 noon.

Thank You Justice Ministry Network

We recently celebrated our justice ministry year with others from across Palm Beach County.

Thank you to justice ministry network members Debbie and Johanna for organizing us this year to take a great first step toward ending the problem of homelessness in Palm Beach County. And congratulations to Patricia Brother, Bobbi Marsh, Debbie Copeland and Pastor Jason for being GNATS (Good Network Members All the Time) by attending all four network meetings, bringing at least three people to the Nehemiah action, and investing at least $200 in our justice ministry network this year! 

Be watching for our listening meetings in the fall of this year to share your story and to learn how you can become involved in justice ministry in Palm Beach County.

Parlor Renovation Completed




Thank you to our Trustees, Men's Fellowship, Parlor Renovation Crew, and to everyone who contributed to our Christmas Offering for the parlor renovation. A wonderful space has been created for formation and fellowship. Be looking for a dedication date in the near future. 

Facebook


If you are on Facebook, you can keep up with what is happening "between Sundays" on our Facebook page. First, go to our page and "Like" us. However, just liking us does not mean that you will see everything we post. Each of our Facebook posts only goes to about 2% of the people who like our page. To make sure you see everything, after you like us, go to the pull-down menu on the "Like" button and click "Get Notifications." This way everything that we post will show up on your own Facebook wall.
