Sunday, August 16: Summer Camp Sunday and Backpack Blessing
One worship service at 10 a.m.
Are you smarter than a fifth grader…when it comes to our Unitarian Universalist Shared Values? Join us this week for our Summer Camp Sunday and Backpack Blessing worship led by our summer campers and camp staff. We’ll sing, share, and explore our shared values together. Don’t forget to bring your backpack, laptop case, purse, or fanny pack for our annual Backpack Blessing! We’ll send you home with a reminder that no matter what you’re carrying this time of year, we are holding it together – with Love at the Center.
Religious Education classes are on summer break. Children and youth are welcome and included in worship on Sundays. Childcare is available for ages six months-preK.
