Is Life a Path, Cycle, or Neither?
Sunday, August 27 at 11 am in the Sanctuary
Service conducted by Natalie Freeburg, Lucy Smith, and Rev. Alyson Jacks

Is life a cycle that repeats, or a path with a beginning and an end? Or perhaps a little of each? And does our definition of the answer affect how deeply we engage in life?

Participants who will share themselves in the service will be youth and adults from the Children's Religious Education program.

Lisa Sangowitz Moscow will be the guest musician. All ages will be together during the worship in the Sanctuary.
