Pastor Jeff hosting “coffee and communion”

From Pastor Jeff:  “Every Thursday in March, from noon to 12:30 I am hosting “coffee & communion” in our redecorated Wesley Room (formerly the Parlor). A simple form of communion around the table with a devotional will be offered and you can stay to chat with me at 12:30. Bring your lunch if you like. Coffee and fixings will be provided.  We are reading from the words of Henri Nouwen.  (Our Library has many books by him.  This is a great time to check a book out of our Church Library).”
