I hope y’all were able to attend this past Sunday’s Coming of Age service!  Eight of our COA Youth participated in the service and shared their credos (faith statements) with the congregation.  There was music, laughter, tears, and lots of wonderful insight.  And hope.  So much hope.  These youth now join our Senior Youth, bringing this hope, and new ideas and stories to share. In this time of uncertainty, being with these youth while they prepared and then shared their credos, left me filled with tremendous pride and hope, knowing that simply by their being, they will indeed make this world a better place.  We are blessed.

Story Time for Youngin’s takes place on Tuesdays at 6:30 pm.  It runs about 30 minutes and is geared toward younger children as they prepare for dream land.  Our guest reader this week is Maia Regan!
