Service Sunday

After gathering in the Sanctuary for the beginning of worship, we reconvened at the cornerstone for the reading of scripture, prayers, singing, and the passing of the Peace of Christ.  We then began our service of assembling hygiene kits, making cards for children at Children’s Hospital, and preparing the Pilgrim plot at our community garden.  A small group worked on cleaning out the Danforth Chapel.  We should have before and after photos but we only have after.

Glorious Easter

We had a grand time celebrating the truth of the resurrection. We had gorgeous weather for the celebration with Union Communion on the lawn at Westminster. Our Easter Breakfast sweet and satisfying and the food was good too. Kimberly helped us connect with the emotions of Mary looking for the body of her Lord. Jenny taught the kids (of all ages) some things about expectation and surprise through the magic of eggs. The band was rocking and the choir with it. Cindy’s sermon was current and clever but also theologically complex and clarifying. All in all, a great celebration. These pictures don’t do it justice.
