Join us at 10:30 in the sanctuary or click here to join us by Zoom this Sunday as we celebrate LGBTQ+ Pride! David Greer will offer a call to worship, reflecting on our summer theme “Unsung Heroes.” Rev. Sam will lead a time with our children. Under the musical leadership of Reshmina William, the First Church Choir will collaborate with the Witness & Wonder Collective to sing “All Belong Here” by The Many. Riley Kiss, Abby Goodman-Johnson and Ellen Bushmiller will serve as scripture readers with focus texts from Psalm 139:13-14 (beautifully and wonderfully made), Ruth 1:16-17 (where you go, I will go), and Acts 10: 34-35, 44-47 (can anyone withhold the water for baptizing those who have received the Holy Spirit?). The Rev. Dr. LaTayna Purnell will preach. Our second Sunday special offering recipient will be Juneteenth for the City, and the Rev. Mahogany Thomas of Bread for the City will share more in a Moment for Justice. Rev. Amanda and Rev. Jason Carson Wilson will lead the congregation in offering a sending blessing for Rev. Purnell as she prepares for a new ministry call. We will share in prayers of the people. Casey Capsambelis, Polly Gordon, Nora Marsh, and Reshmina William will offer an acapella postlude, “Cradle Me,” by Deborah Dougherty-Harris. Join us!
