Sunday Worship: July Light Week 1July 7, 10:15 am This Sunday marks the beginning of our enriching "July LIGHT" series, where our worship services will be centered around the profound book "The Amen Effect – Ancient Wisdom to Mend Our Broken Hearts and World" by Rabbi Sharon Brous. Over the next four weeks, we will delve into Rabbi Brous' open-hearted wisdom on what it means to journey together—in our personal lives and in the broader world. We will draw upon her open-hearted wisdom about what it is for us to make our way together … in our lives and in the world around us. We will begin to hear about her vision of the “amen effect” … “that very human longing for connection — in our most intimate relationships, in community, with strangers, perhaps with God”. We trust that this first taste will prove to be a rich and inspiring experience that will keep you coming back for more! Music: Gordon Miller For more infomation visit:
