Michael: This Sunday at the 10:15 service, we look forward to the choir and Dr. Deb Huffman offering the anthem “Cantate Domino (Come Ye With Joyfulness).” I will be preaching at both services. In the category of “what’s new”, we will have coffee available after both services! It will be one small step toward a new normal. This Sunday we continue to hear from our stewardship speakers. Attached is the stewardship insert for this week. On a sad note, I’m sorry to have to let you know that long-time parishioner Rosemary Wimmer died in her sleep at home yesterday. Funeral plans are still taking shape. I will let you know when I know more.
