Sunday, April 07, 2024, at 10:30am

Worship Leaders: Rev. Margalie Belizaire / Judith Stein-Farrall / Aubrey Connelly-Candelario / Neil Boris

What are the different ways that we need one another to survive? Let us explore together.

Share the Plate for April is Senior First and our visitor reminded how many Seniors need food and need support. We also heard that 1U members and friends have pledged support to 1U and its work. And, Rev. Margalie shared the importance of the love of giving and receiving.

Serving the Community continues to reach out —

Add to a bag of groceries picked up at One Heart for Women and Children a few words of “food” for the soul and heart. Write a card every Sunday or write them at home and bring them to church.

And, Friends of New Images Youth Center, is collecting  gently used jewelry  for their  Mother’s Day “Jewelry Boutique” -open to children so they can select a gift for their mothers.
