For your contemplation: “The cup of life is the cup of joy as much as it is the cup of sorrow. It is the cup in which sorrows and joys, sadness and gladness, mourning and dancing are never separated. If joys could not be where sorrows are, the cup of life would never be drinkable. That is why we have to hold the cup in our hands and look carefully to see the joys hidden in our sorrows.” Henri Nouwen.

United Church of Christ

Let us welcome everyone to our 10 a.m. Sunday worship service and 11 a.m. fellowship hour. What an opportunity to get to know each other better and share our thoughts and experiences--even if it does fall on Memorial Day weekend!

Please turn in your pledge for 2010-2011 to the church office, if you haven't handed it in yet.
