Faith ministry continues, even as we remain physically distant. We celebrate God's Spirit leading us this past week.

And what is so rare as a day in June?
Then, if ever, come perfect days;
Then Heaven tries earth if it be in tune,
And over it softly her warm ear lays;
Whether we look, or whether we listen,
We hear life murmur, or see it glisten …
―James Russell Lowell

Beautiful flowers and new life surround our building right now. Baby robins hatched above door 15 this week. Mama robin wasn't pleased with our attempts at close-up photography of her newborns!  Thank you, God, for beautiful June days!

On Sunday, June 7, virtual Prayer Lab participants went well over the 30 minutes scheduled for the meeting. Participants were so engaged in the issue of prayer and justice that they enthusiastically continued in conversation and learning. What a blessing that we are able to connect with one another while we remain physically distant.

The tomato and pepper plants of the Faith Feeds Our Neighbor program have all been adopted! 43 families are nurturing these plants with the intention of donating the produce to families experiencing food insecurity locally. Families with small gardens adopted one plant (the plants all have names, Phoebe the Pepper is pictured) while families with more space adopted several plants. In addition, other gardeners who already had full gardens (early planters!) are committed to sharing their bounty. We look forward to hearing stories of plant growth and adventures.

Our ministry of outreach to Faith shut-ins continues. Participants are amazingly generous with their time and enthusiastic about finding ways to connect using letters, artwork, phone calls and more. If you would like to be part of this ministry, contact Deacon Nina.

We continue to celebrate the efforts of our Faith Tech Team who work every Sunday morning and Wednesday night to bring our sanctuary to your streaming device and radio. Thank you Tech Team! You are our super-heroes.

As you witness ministry happening in your home or neighborhood, or as you share God's grace with others, let us know so we can celebrate with you! Email
