An Invitation to Contemplation
“Renewal cannot come to the church unless its people are on an inward journey.”
Elizabeth O’Connor
We will celebrate Communion this Sunday.
Celebrating the sacrament on Zoom creates a challenge. If you are worshiping from home, we recommend that you prepare your own elements for communion – a cup of juice or wine; a piece of bread.
We may trust that the holy mystery of the Living Christ among us which we affirm in Communion is great enough to transcend the limitations of our distance from one another in a Zoom meeting in this hybrid form of worship.
If you’re wondering what to wear to church this Sunday, the Social Witness and Action Committee (SWAC) encourages you to wear something ORANGE.
Since 2013 orange has emerged as the color of solidarity with those who have suffered from gun violence and those working to end this senseless, brutal reality in our national story. That was the year that 15-year-old Hadiya Pendleton was fatally shot in Chicago. In the days and months following her death, Hadiya’s friends started wearing orange to remember her, choosing that color because it’s what hunters wear in the woods to keep from getting shot themselves.
Since June is Gun Violence Awareness Month, let’s get our orange on and worship the One who has broken the chains of death.
Another way to show our solidarity is to support Marylanders Against Gun Violence (https://mdpgv.org/#home-page).
Our services continue to be held in our Sanctuary. People are welcome to come to church for worship, and we will continue to live-stream our worship service.
Facemasks are currently optional. However, if you're not vaccinated, we recommend wearing a mask.
We recommend that everyone get the COVID vaccination and booster. If you have a vulnerable health condition or just prefer to wear a mask, please feel free to do so.

About Online Worship
We will gather by ZOOM (feed available starting about 10:45 AM).
Directions on how to connect and participate in virtual worship will be sent via a group.io e-mail. If you are unfamiliar with ZOOM we recommend you read up a little before the service.
We will set an informal and experimental mood, ask forgiveness as we stumble along our way in a new medium. It will be fun.
