This SUUF Worship Service, “Sermon On The Amount,” will ask us to consider what is truly ours. Our spiritual home is not just another charity to consider – this is where we live out our values individually and as a community. This is the priority among the good causes in our lives.
So, what is yours? How about, what you came here with. Your wit, your insight, your character, a gallbladder, couple hips, a head and a heart. Money is not yours, it is something you earned, inherited or was gifted. You did not make it. You do not own it. You can save it, invest it, or give it away.
Coffee and tea will generally be available for folks who wish to stay and socialize after Service unless otherwise indicated. Volunteers are welcome to help make coffee and clean-up afterwards. We will use the Social Hall at JCSVV when possible; otherwise please join us in the lobby.
The women’s lunch will be held at Juniper Bar & Grille at Sedona Golf Resort on April 17 at noon. This is a wonderful opportunity to visit with old friends and meet new friends.
Watch for the Evite invitation and send your RSVP for the Evite invitation or contact Barb Malat.
