Thirteenth Sunday After Pentecost, August 27, 2023, 10:45 A.M.

<p>Hello and God&#39;s blessings to you and all those you hold in your heart! On this thirteenth Sunday after Pentecost, we are happy to welcome you to our worship service and thank you for participating in whatever ways you are most comfortable. Today we welcome Rev. Jenaba Waggy from Ann Arbor First UMC who will join our service with a special message. This morning during the service we will also be sharing some music, prayer and Scripture. If you ever have a question about anything during the service, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We believe in drawing the circle wider, building a bigger table, and doing our very best to make our time (and space) in worship as open and inclusive for everyone. We also want you to know that you are made in the image of God, which means you are beautiful just the way you are. You are also a beloved child of God, a sibling in Christ, and forever and always loved unconditionally. There is nothing you can do to separate yourself from God&#39;s love or perfect grace. We also want you to know that we believe that you are worthy of being, of mercy, of grace, and most especially, worthy of love. We are also holding you in prayer today, and throughout the entire week, for the challenges you may be facing, and also for the things you celebrate and bring joy to your heart and your life.</p>
