Come join our Alternate Worship service
on the Second Sunday of Each Month

On Sunday, April 13, we began our new venture with Alternative Worship at both services.   Laure Schwartz our lead vocalist and guitarist, with Mary Dinesen playing piano. Laure and Mary lead the group and the congregation in worship with a beautiful sound that carries the message of each song.   Also playing are Vida MacDonald and Jan Frolik (guitar), Kacey Strandemo (viola), Jan Winkler (flute and drums), and Ben Winkler (trumpet).   The group does a wonderful job and they sound good together in their leadership.  As we continue to worship with this group accompanying, music will be chosen to help us focus on the Word of God for the day. Criteria for song selection will include the seasonal mood of the day, along with concerns for variety, beauty, and integrity.

A Time to Grieve

 Some of you have had to endure the most profound emotional experience with the loss of your loved one recently. The grief that follows may be the most painful challenge of your life. Regardless of when your loved one died, you may still be dealing with many grief-related responses.

When you are ready, please join Pastor Becker and parish nurse, Nancy on Wednesday, evenings from 4:45-6pm beginning June 4^th at the church. We will discuss the three phases of grief as described in the book, “A Time to Grieve”. There is no need to register, just come when you think you are ready. If you have questions, please call either Pastor Becker or Nancy at the church.
