This Sun, Jul 11

This Sunday at 10 am, our speaker will be Isabel Stenzel Byrnes, co-author of “The Power of Two: A Twin Triumph Over Cystic Fibrosis.” From the book's description: “Ana and Isa are identical twins who recount their lifelong struggle to pursue normal lives with cystic fibrosis while grappling with the realization that they will die young. This coming-of-age story reveals their tumultuous battle against their bodies, their desire for independent identities, and their gradual acceptance of being loveable despite being physically different.” Consider reading the book or watching the documentary. Join us via Zoom a few minutes before 10 am.

Listen to last Sunday's message

On Sunday, Rev. Polly observed Independence Day by acknowledging the challenges our country faces and celebrating the progress we've made. As we looked forward to the future, we asked ourselves what we valued most about this country. Watch the sermon.
