His second service sermon is entitled Tilting the Universe and his afternoon program is entitled The High Holidays Plus taking place in the garden room at 3:00pm.
Vespers followed by an Ice Cream Social. Our church elders have been working hard to prepare a special evening for you this Sabbath, October 4. Pastor Bob will begin with vespers at 6:00. He requests that you bring an 8 ½ x 11 sheet of paper with your favorite name of God written on it. Then our elders are hosting an Ice Cream Social and would love for you to join them! There will be fun games, prizes and lots of good treats. The cost of attending?...your favorite flavor of ice cream or a yummy topping.
