The phrase “mind the gap” serves as a warning on the London subway system, encouraging riders to pay attention to the threshold between the subway platform and the subway car. A little closer to home, the phrase “mind the gap” also highlights the importance of thresholds in our own lives. This month, our May worship theme of “thresholds” invites us to be mindful of our own thresholds and the thresholds in the world around us. Join Rev. Arif, Aimee K. Bryant, and Rev. Justin this Sunday, May 2 at 10 a.m. for a service that opens up this theme of thresholds and invites us to notice the many thresholds in our lives, past, present, and future. We’ll see you in church!
