Yesterday was a fun service to start getting us all into the spirit of the holiday season. Rev. Mike shared a story about family Christmas traditions and foods with the whole congregation, young and old, and we followed it up with a delicious potluck meal. Some of us later decamped to the Forum Room for the movie, and those who did thought it worthwhile to get the rest of the “Long Strange Trip” series, so if you have any idea how best to incorporate a series of hour-long videos into our schedule (Adult Forum? After lunch?), talk to Kath Connor and the Worship Service Committee.
