In This Week's E-Pistle, You Will Find:
This Sunday's Service: "Trinity Sunday"
The First Sunday after Pentecost is known as "Trinity Sunday," in which we celebrate the "three-in-one" aspect of God: Creator/Sustainer/Redeemer. At this Sunday's Video Worship service, Pastor Sal will be joined by several other UCC ministers who will share words and prayers with us. Message: Rev. John Dorhauer, UCC President. Music: Peter Black and Jeff Spangler.
Tune-in on Sunday at 10 AM via our Facebook page, YouTube channel, or here on our website. Last Sunday's Service
In our lectionary reading for Pentecost Sunday, last week, we heard the story of how the Spirit of God set the hearts and minds of the first disciples on fire. This very same Spirit is alive today, but how do we kindle its spark within ourselves and fan its flames in one another? Tune in to last week's Pentecost service, when we celebrated the Holy Spirit, alive and aflame in our hearts.

Zinnias Are Planted!!
KUDOS to church member, David Geen, for planting the zinnias in front of the church this year. They are planted in loving memory of Jim Shewell (1948-2021) who with his husband, Leith Letcher, planted the zinnias for many years in front of the church. David was assisted by Scotty Jacobs from Specialty Gardens. Thank you!! We can't wait to see the zinnias in bloom!!
