Memorial Day Sunday

This year, Memorial Day comes amidst a war of choice, months after federal elected officials deemed it necessary to remind service members of their duty to refuse illegal orders. On Sunday, we honor the complexity of sacrifice, and our spiritual responsibility toward the human beings who serve.

Children and youth will have a one-room schoolhouse activity during the latter part of the service. Please join us after the service for coffee, tea, refreshments and fellowship in the dining room of the Parish House.
