September 22nd: To Dwell, To Seek, To Grow
Service Leaders: Rev. Meghann Robern, DLFD Andrea James, and Music Director PJ Buchan
Service Coordinator: Marian Siemens
We celebrate our ingathering once again with our annual Water Communion tradition, and we will covenant with our 2019-20 Board of Directors.
For this multigenerational service, please bring water from a source that has meaning for you -- an example might be from the hose you use to water your garden. This service will also be followed by the annual Ingathering All-Congregation Potluck. Signups for potluck setup and cleanup will be forthcoming in the all-church email.
Hymns: 92 Mysterious Presence, Source of All; 1007 River Flowing in My Soul; 1034 De Noche; 94 What Is This Life (Hymn of the Month)
From the Minister's Study - September 2019
As many of you know, our Director of Lifespan Faith Development, Andrea James, has begun her twelfth year of service with us. She has demonstrated over and over again her dedication to our community and to our shared ministry together. To support her continued growth and learning as our DLFD, the Board of Directors has granted her a four-month sabbatical this year, from the beginning of December to the end of March.
This congregation has worked hard to live into the reality of being a fair and just employer of its professional staff, and one of the ways we do this is by taking into consideration the guidelines given by our professional organizations. In the area of faith development and religious exploration, we turn to the Liberal Religious Educators’ Association (LREDA for short). This is what their guidelines offer us about sabbaticals:
Adult Drop In Monthly Theme Discussion

Childcare will be provided, so bring them with you if that works better for you. Please let Odell know ahead of time if possible.
