Summer Study Series: the Seven Deadly Sins
Director of Formation Megan Hoskins will offer a summer series exploring the 7 Deadly Sins through literature on Sunday mornings 9:30 - 10:15. Each session will look at a different sin as it is encountered in a short work of fiction by a distinguished author. The stories provide a look at the range of possibilities for human behavior, and raise questions about the moral life. Read the stories in advance and come to discuss. No need to RSVP. Join us for any or all of the sessions.

Contemporary Evening Worship
Sunday, August 11, there will be an evening service at 6:30 p.m. This is a more contemporary service featuring the folk group—come as you are. Following the service we gather down the street at Open Road for something to drink, a snack, or a late supper. Everyone is on their own check, so feel free to drop in for any length of time and share some fellowship after the service. Questions? Contact The Rev. Jamie Samilio.
