by the ways in which we live and care for others.
Hallelujah!
AMEN.

BENEDICTION
For some of you, this week will be one of feasting and celebrating.
For some, it will be a time of reflection and rest.
And for some, it will be a time of sorrow and grief.
Wherever you are this week,
May the Lord bless you and keep you.
May the Lord make his face shine upon you.
May the Lord lift up his countenance upon you,
And give you peace.
We go to follow Christ

The new Danner Garden and Courtyard is coming along, too. When completed it will be a place where people can pray, meditate, have outdoor services, and be in God’s presence. There will be some brick paved areas, along with plants and shrubs. The pavers are the ones from the “Pathway to Life” that ran between the church and the ATTIC Youth House. There is room for more engraved pavers in memory of honor of loved ones. If you are interested in placing one there, please contact the church office.
Thanks to the contributions of many people, the port-cochere for the front of the church is well underway! It will not only define the front of the church, but will provide a beautiful and welcoming front for the facility. The sidewalks and parking areas are being constructed now, so everyone is asked to park in the Rutledge Avenue parking lot and to enter the sanctuary through the narthex doors on that side for the next couple of weeks.
