Gratitude Overflows! The Gap November 11, we’re starting a new series in worship called “Gratitude Overflows!” This series is based on the book Grateful: The Transformative Power of Giving Thanks by Diana Butler Bass and we’re connecting it to our feelings and practices about giving. This Sunday we’re focusing on the Gap between how we actually feel about gratitude and how we think we should feel about gratitude and we’ll compare that to how we feel about our money (and think we should feel about our money). See you in worship! Peace, Pastor Jill

A big thank you to Beth Larsen and the CHUM Women’s group for

creating a wonderful way of remembering those who have passed before us.
