On Sundays, we develop a theme in worship grounded in scripture and engaged through a sermon, music, prayer, silence, and contemplation, yet have you ever wanted to talk about it? Join Rev. Bob on Wednesdays from 12 to 1 pm (ish) starting September 23rd for conversations that delve a little deeper into the theme from Sunday. Location: Upper Room and online.
