This Sunday

“Plate Tectonics 101”

Livestreamed  at 10:30 am In just a few weeks, our coming-of-age group will be presenting their credos to the congregation. Today, intern minister Mac Perkins-High will do the same, offering an account of their theology alongside a small lesson in the geology of our beautiful planet. 

Our April Share the Plate is The Afro-American Music Institute

The Afro-American Music Institute,  located at 7131 Hamilton Avenue, has provided musical programs of excellence since 1982.  Under the guidance and tutelage of James and Pamela Johnson, the institute offers specialized instrumental and vocal training in all styles of African American music for all age groups.  A special emphasis is put on programming for children and young adults.  There are music classes and ensembles including a boys’ choir.    https://afroamericanmusic.org/

Capital Campaign Launch: Warming Our Welcome, Brightening Our Future

  We’ve launched an exciting campaign to make our church more welcoming, accessible, and sustainable. Planned improvements include energy-efficient heating and cooling, upgraded lighting and sound, a modern video system, outdoor enhancements, and a long-term endowment. We invite every member to attend a small group meeting to learn more and get involved. Learn more.

EAST-EARTH DAY EGG HUNT

  This year’s hunt is dedicated to Earth Day, which is the same day as Easter this year. Children collect eggs and turn them in for prizes of their choice at the prize “store.” And don’t forget: 8 sparkly eggs will be hidden throughout the church for a special prize each, as well as the highly coveted golden egg! (All ages are invited to hunt for the special eggs.) These eggs will stay in the church throughout the year until all are found! Donations are much appreciated, but not required to participate in this event.
