Sunday Services Schedule

May Theme: Sacred Story
“Sacred stories are those of transformation. They are stories that draw us closer to what I call the Lord
Within the Heart, and they help us see our connection to all things. There’s a saying in the Jewish
tradition that the shortest distance between a human and God is through story. So if storytelling is a
journey, sacred story is a pilgrimage - a pilgrimage to a place called Hope.” ~ Andy Fraenkel

May 6 ~ “…Naturally, Come in, come in.”
Carol Thompson, Guest Preacher
Kristen Helal, Worship Leader
A sacred story from the book Lest Innocent Blood be Shed by Phillip Hallie, in which a small village in southern France shows its faith in action by rescuing refugees during World War II, sharing a lesson for all on commitment and action.

May 13 ~ “Nevertheless” – or – “What I Did On My Cancer Sabbatical”
Reverend Carolyn Patierno, Worship Leader
Lessons were learned through it all. And not all of it was awful. I’ll lift up some of the learning and do so with a strong dose of my specialty: gallows humor. And we’ll welcome new members! And it’s Mother’s Day! We have much to celebrate.
Bookstore will be open.
Children & Youth Chapel Service this morning. Our theme will be Mother’s Day.

May 20 ~ “The Only Real Story”
One service at 10:00 a.m.
Reverend Carolyn Patierno, Worship Leader
“The Prodigal Son. … It’s the only real story – coming back to God, who welcomes us with heartbroken joy, no matter what, every time. I do not get this.” Anne Lamott. Do you get this? Let’s see what we “get” together.

• Good Neighbor Offering - Integrated Refugee & Immigrant Services (IRIS)
• Annual Congregational Meeting at 11:30 a.m.

May 27 ~ “War & Peace – Stories. A Meditation on Memorial Day”
One service at 10:00 a.m.
Reverend Carolyn Patierno, Worship Leader
The National Story Project chose stories that formed the book, I Thought My Father Was God. In this profound collection is a chapter called “War.” These stories have at their core a profound calling for peace. We’ll consider
these on Memorial Day.

No religious education classes or youth group today.
