 Please join us at 11 a.m. Sunday in person in the sanctuary, via
Facebook Live,
or on Zoom at

Passcode: fuusm2323
FUUSM is still rich in store-bought cookies, tortilla chips, etc. It would
be great if you could contribute fresh fruit, veggies, or something
homemade to share at coffee hour. Finger foods require fewer dishes,
which helps
the volunteers who will clean up afterward. Please consider bringing your
own travel mug and opting for a napkin but no plate or fork (if possible).

Our Power to Hold the Center; Martha McGovern, worship leader

“When you act on behalf of something greater than yourself, you begin to
feel it acting through you with a power that is greater than your own.” Tom
Atlee, on the grace that comes from belonging to life

Welcome Song “Whoever You Are, We Welcome You” Hal Walker

Whoever you are, we welcome you.

Wherever you come from, we welcome you.

Whomever you love, we welcome you.
