"And to Help One Another"
Rev. Nina D. Grey
Music: Richard and Cindy Pardo
In this, her first service following both her surgery and vacation, Rev. Nina Grey will reflect with us on the helping commitment of the church. This is the final sermon in her series on the liturgical covenant we speak each week: "Love is the spirit of this church, and service its law. This is our great covenant: to dwell together in peace, to seek the truth in love, and to help one another." Rev. Grey will contemplate what we mean by 'helping' and 'one another'. She will weave a picture of helping that is responsive to whole people and community.
