What Would You Do if
Suddenly You Believed in God/Goddess?
Sunday at 11 in the Church Sanctuary
service conducted by The Rev. Fred Rabidoux
For some of us the experience of becoming connected to something Divine has already occurred; for others there may be a comfortable relationship with matters of spirit but not such that they would say they believed; and still others firmly do not believe or feel at all connected with any spiritual expression.
At this service we will delve into the question, what if a shift in attitude occurs leading to a different connection to the spiritual realm?
Also on the chancel with me Sunday will be Rev. Denis Paul and Rev. Jeremiah Kalendae. The music will be by Mark Johnson and Chris Waltz.
— Fred
