Worship, Sep 20, 8:30 & 11am

Celebrating God’s Goodness
Children & Youth, Sep 20, 8:30&11am
This Sunday, our children’s school lesson will explore Matthew 20:1–16, Jesus’ parable of the workers in the vineyard. Through this story, children will learn that God’s generosity and grace are not earned by comparison or measured by human standards. Everyone is welcomed and valued in God’s kingdom, and we can respond by celebrating God’s goodness for others as well as for ourselves.

Working with Wisdom
Workshop, Sat morning, Sep 26
As disciples of Christ, we want to help our neighbors. But do we truly understand who they are? Do we know what our own blind spots are when it comes to doing this work? The Rev. Dr. Amantha Barbee helps us answer these questions in her upcoming workshop. Join us in Pope Hall Saturday morning, September 26th for a close look at these issues.
