Praying with Dragonflies

Just 9 days into summer, we explore the spiritual practice of prayer and the sacred in our midst. Never prayed? Don't even like the word? Curious? This experience is for the reverent and restrained alike!

PreK-5 grades begin in fellowship hall (lower level) this Sunday, for their summer program and themed activities. Grades 6-12 are off for the summer.
