Wednesday Thing Vespers, April 8, 6:30 pm will be hosted by Nancy Bragg and EJ Haack. Participants of all ages will explore spring as a time of liberation, being free, hopeful, and nurturing new life. It is especially self-nurturing to do this now, within the current context of our collective struggle. Be ready to move your body and draw – so have a blank piece of paper and pencils, markers or crayons ready! We will interact in small groups of 4 or 5. Zoom link will be in the Worship e-news.
Join Rev. Claudia and MaryAnn Sommervill for a midweek time of reflection and connection during a live Wednesday Thing Zoom Vespers at 6:30 PM. There will be a time for breakout groups and conversation. If you have a chalice have it with you so we can light our chalices together. If you are interested in being a reader, helping craft future Vespers, or have questions about using Zoom, please contact Rev. Claudia.
