Empowered by the Holy Spirit, collectively and individually we strive to worship and pray, learn and teach; and by our words and acts of caring, encourage all people to be reconciled to God and to each other.

The people speak!

Waving Palms
During the first hymn, played by Sarah Barker, the children and congregation waved palm leaves. Thanks to Boots and Dean Shillingburg for handing out palm leaves to the 121 who attended worship service today. Thirty-two children laid their palm leaves at the altar before being dismissed to Children's Church. See the album titled "Kids Party" for pictures from earlier this morning.
